None of these cartridges operate at what could be called a high pressure but instead are known as “intermediate pressure” cartridges. It was designed around such cartridges as the 7×57, 6.5×55, & 7.65×53. The 1893 is what is known as a “small ring” Mauser action. It of course was intended to be loaded via 5 round “stripper clips” or “chargers”. 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 “Franco’s Spain”. 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 it’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.īack in the day, Spain purchased it’s military rifles from Mauser Werke in Germany. I call this “turd polishing” and it is a hobby that I am truly committed to. I believe that they are “industrial art” and have a place in this world & should always be saved & brought back to usefulness if at all possible.
