SPANISH OVIEDO M1916 MAUSER .308 Winchester Bolt Action C&R SHORT RIFLE Spanish Fabrica de Armas MILITARY Rifle

Description:
SPANISH OVIEDO M1916 MAUSER .308 Winchester Bolt Action C&R SHORT RIFLE   

Spanish Fabrica de Armas MILITARY Rifle

Here we present a C&R Spanish Mauser Model 1916 Short Rifle manufactured circa the 1920s at Fábrica de Armas Oviedo. The Model 1916 rifle was adopted on November 14, 1916 to replace the M1895 carbine. The short barrels, though, were not optimized to take advantage of the higher velocity of the M1913 cartridge. Like the M1913, the left rear of the receiver was cut to facilitate stripper clip loading, though it was cut fully flush with the stock. Gas escape holes were added to the bolt and to the receiver to vent excess gas in the event of a case failure. Also, like the M1913, the M1916 rifle had a bent bolt handle, a full-length stock with a lug for an M1913 sword bayonet.

These rifles featured a 22-inch barrel, though a carbine version was also manufactured with a 17.7-inch barrel, though this may have been an experimental version. The Model 1916 was manufactured by Fábrica de Armas from 1916 to 1951 and Industrias de Guerra de Cataluna from 1936 to 1939.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. Nicely rifled and bright bore. Solid stock with an average amount of wear. Numbers on the bolt and receiver match. Legible markings. “SAMCO” import marked barrel.
