#M93 SPANISH MAUSER FULL#

The 1893 is what is known as a вЂњsmall ringвЂќ Mauser action. It of course was intended to be loaded via 5 round вЂњstripper clipsвЂќ or вЂњchargersвЂќ.

The 1893 Mauser was the first Mauser to use the 5 round, double stack, internal magazine combined with the full length spring steel non rotating claw extractor that Mauser nuts fawn over so much. The Spanish rifles also have a Fascist crest on the front receiver ring from the days of вЂњFrancoвЂ™s SpainвЂќ. In military trim they look something like this:

That being said, I have handled & fired many & think they are perfectly serviceable.

They are generally regarded as inferior to German made rifles. After a while, Spain began to produce itвЂ™s own copies of Mauser rifles under license from Mauser. In fact the 1893 Mauser is basically known as the Spanish Mauser even though several countries adopted it for service & Spain herself used many other models. It was that commitment that urged me to complete the project that is the subject of this post.Д«ack in the day, Spain purchased itвЂ™s military rifles from Mauser Werke in Germany. I call this вЂњturd polishingвЂќ and it is a hobby that I am truly committed to. I believe that they are вЂњindustrial artвЂќ and have a place in this world & should always be saved & brought back to usefulness if at all possible. As anyone who has readВ any of my previous writings knows, I canвЂ™t sit back & watch a firearm rot into oblivion.
