The Mauser Model 1871 rifle is a bolt-action rifle. It was adopted by the German Army in 1871 and became their standard service rifle, replacing the Dreyse Needle Gun. Its design was based on the Russian M1867 Rifle, which in turn had been based on the British Snider-Enfield. A total of 175,000 Model 71s were manufactured from 1872 to 1888 at a cost of 15 Reichsmarks per unit. The first units were made with a thicker steel that could withstand higher pressures but proved too hard to manufacture so thinner less hard steel was substituted throughout the weapon's service life. The rifle was used in the Tirailleur regiments, the Marine Infantry and the Feldjäger battalions. The German Army still used the 71 during World War I, even though it had been replaced by the Gewehr 88 in 1892. The weapon holds 15 rounds in an internal magazine that can be loaded by hand or with a 5-round clip. A stripper clip guide is located on the left side of the receiver. The bolt has a safety mechanism which is operated by turning it towards the rear end of receiver which will release/open the bolt only when it is fully closed. The weapon weighs approximately , has a longer barrel and has an adjustable rear sight and a winged front sight on a short base (approximately x ). A very large number of 71 and 71/84 rifles were converted for use as military training rifles or as drill rifles by replacing the original barrel with a shorter version (~ long) with no rear sights. These modified weapons were intended to be used for initial military training of cadets (on the parade ground), as well as for non-military activities such as shooting competitions or civilian self-defence training. Mauser's patent of 1871 allowed only the German Empire to manufacture the weapon, but not necessarily sell it outside Germany. The weapon was produced under licence in several other countries, including Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Japan and Spain. The classification "rifle" according to German military law is not used; the designation "Gewehr 71" (71 rifle) is used instead.
The 7.92x57mm Mauser "P-08/17" was a conversion of the Mauser Gewehr 71 rifle chambered for this caliber and compatible with Mauser's 1907 pattern bayonets. Rifles converted for use as training rifles came to be known as Gewehr 71/84 (A8A8). Almost 44 million Gewehr 71 rifles were converted to 7. 92 mm. It was the first large-scale conversion of a military rifle for civilian use to an intermediate calibre. The standard German Enfield rifles were at this time transitioning from the .303 British round to the 7.62x51mm NATO round and would be replaced by the 8mm Mauser cartridge, which Kaiser Wilhelm had banned for use in Germany as it was considered inferior.
