The rifle is a magazine fed, bolt action rifle that has a straight bolt handle, handy for slapping out swelled cases. What makes the rifle modern is the action. The rifle is quite long, sporting a twenty-nine inch barrel, for fencing with the enemy and repelling enemy cavalry with the bayonet. The sights, consisting of a rear 300 meter battle sight and a ladder ranging out to 2000 meters and a front blade, are not terribly impressive. The rifle has the same hearty steel furniture and wooden stock as any other rifle the day. The M93 is a contradiction of high technology and old-world thinking. That 2000 meter setting on the ladder rear sight seems optimistic, but was meant for volley fire to harass enemy formations. The first M1893s were made in Germany, but domestic production soon caught on and would continue through the 1940s. It was still a five-round bolt action rifle, but it now incorporated the new 7x57mm cartridge, a relatively small-bore, high velocity cartridge. This improved handling, feeding and made the gun about as bulletproof as it could be. This improved model incorporated a staggered box magazine, one of the first of its kind, that was flush with the stock. An upgraded rifle, the Model 1893, was immediately adopted by Spain. However, the protruding magazine proved vulnerable to damage and it became clear that the 7.65x53mm round the rifle fired could be improved upon. The M1889 got the attention of the Belgians and the Argentinians, who adopted a simplified version in 1891. This rifle did not rely on the clip to control round feeding, which was done by spring-loaded tabs within the magazine. 88, but it fed from a box magazine with a new rapid feeding system called the stripper clip.
His new rifle, the M1889, had the same protruding magazine and metal barrel shroud of the Germans adopted Gew. Further, while many downright grungy Spanish Mausers are in circulation, this example is in very good condition.The Spanish M1893 rifle is slick to operate, but has a pike-like length to fend off horsemen with the bayonet. While many Spanish Mausers were converted to 7.92x57 or 7.62 NATO this one appears to retain its 7x57mm caliber. There is a cutout for stripper clips in the receiver and a gas relief hole on the left side. The rifle, SN 207856, dates from 1924 and includes a faint Spanish Royal crown, "Fabrica de Armas Oviedo" and "1924" on the receiver. This Model 1916 Spanish small ring Mauser carbine is fully stocked to the end of the 26-inch barrel. The Model 1916 Spanish Mauser has a full-length smooth wood stock with sling loops for easy sling installation. A 26-inch blued steel barrel is adorned with an adjustable rear sight and a blade front sight. This Model 1916 Spanish Mauser from Fabrica De Armas Oviedo is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7x57mm with a five-round magazine.
