Haenel offered rifles on M88 actions up to WW1. They were known and trusted and they were much less, 20%, less expensive than comparable plain grade rifles of the "new improved" patterns. As cost was a prime factor for South American and Asian buyers of military equpment. M88 Haenels simply were much cheaper than state of art Mausers. The Chinese continued to build their "Hanyang" military rifles, the actions plain copies of the old M88 comission rifle, at least up to WW2.
