Title: The Anti-Krag
Post by butlersrangers on Oct 9th, 2014 at 12:02am
Today I acquired a German made Model 1893 Spanish Mauser.  In my experience, early ones that were potentially used in the SAW are very hard to find.  This one showed up at my local gun shop, as part of an estate purchase.  I got it for a reasonable price.
  The rifle must have been used during the Spanish Civil War.  Most of the Royal Crest was removed from the Receiver Ring and from the stock.  However, the bolt, action, sight, and stock numbers all match.  The bore is excellent!  Below the crest is stamped "Berlin 1896".
  I am glad to have a Spanish Mauser to complement my Krags.  I will be shooting this one, after I replace the broken front sight blade.  I also need a rod and sling.  You just never know what you'll bump in to!
