It can be distinguished from the Model 1871 by the elongated receiver tang at the rear of the action, which rises prominently out of the wrist.

The M89 was initially manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre a conglomeration of smaller gun-making firms in the city of Liege who collaborated to fulfill the Belgian contract, later the Belgian state arsenal MAE (Manufacture d'Armes de l'Etat) at Liege which had previously focused on making spare parts for and repair M89 rifles began to manufacture rifles in 1913 when war seemed imminent. This jacket was removed by the Turkish M90 and the Argentine M91, which used a different heavier barrel profile and a short wooden handguard. Like the Gewehr 1888 Commission Rifle, it had a tubular steel barrel jacket on which the sights were mounted, which threaded onto the front of the receiver ring. The most striking features of this rifle are the single-piece bolt body with dual opposing front locking lugs and the 5-round vertical box magazine unlike previous Mauser rifles, the M89 cocked on closing, rather than on opening.
