Can someone explain these markings to me? The pictures don't do this rifle justice. All numbers are matching, including the bayonet.

easy. argentine model 1909 DWM.

Is it a full rifle or a carbine ? (if its a carbine it will have a shorter barrel and a mannlicher style full stock).

Like this: http://www.surplusrifle.com/argentinemauser1909carbine/index.asp

most probably a long rifle -- a carbine would have a turned down bolt (at least a cavalry carbine, not sure about the infantry version).

It's a full rifle. What does "DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-UND MUNITIONSFABRIKEN BERLIN" mean? And what is that marking on top of the receiver?

Yeah, guess it might help if I payed attention to what you wrote. I would take it the full rifle would be alittle more accurate then the carbine correct? Never fired this thing before, kind of interested to see what it can do.

I should think so. The carbine has a noticeable recoil. Let us know how it shoots.

Oh I will. I need to get out to my dads and pick up that ammo he has for it.

Is there any way to adjust the sights on these rifles?
