This video details the rare Uruguayan Dovitiis Mauser, a unique conversion of the German Mauser 1871. Originally chambered in 11mm black powder, these rifles were modernized in France to fire the 6.5mm Daudeteau cartridge. The conversion resulted in a hybrid firearm with German receivers and French barrels, designed for a flat trajectory suitable for less-trained troops. Despite the technical effort, the project ultimately failed in Uruguay due to ammunition issues and the later adoption of the Mauser 1895.
