![]() ![]() SPANISH MAUSER SERIAL NUMBERS CRACKEDI am taking off the old cracked sling, putting a new Turner Comp sling on it with new swivels, tearing it down, cleaning and rebuilding the rifle, and I got some stripper clips and ammo to go with it. He loves it as it is, but doesn't really care for the "military surplus rifle" look. I'm kinda curious, why don't you see too many of these Spanish Mausers? Are they just not too common like the 8mm mausers?ĮTA: Bladeswitcher, I am just going to clean it up (for once in it's life) and doing it for my father. Snakdriver, that's a nice rifle you have there. There is actually a serial number on the barrel that matches the serial on the reciever, so I would say it's the factory barrel. Not one malfunction, split case, misfire etc. My father bought it in it's current state (it was already sporterized), and we have shot many rounds through it since. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned since it was new. I started to tear it down tonight after reading quite abit about the rifle. ![]() It actually looks allot worse then it is. there is some kind of mark, which is why I wasn't sure if it had a marking thereto start with or not. This is the top of the barrel between the rear sight assembly and the front of the receiver. It looks like the letter "V" inside of a circle. This was a mark on the bolt stop assembly. It looks like a bomb with a lit fuse, inside of a circle. I had to pull the firing pin assembly out by hand in order to set it. I only need about 10 to 15 thou to get the safety engaged. I tried to screw in the firing pin assembly as suggested, but it was all the way in. I am pretty sure it is a 1893, due to the cutout on the left side of the receiver by the stripper clip area, as seen in photo 2 I can take more pictures of the action etc if needed.ĮTA: I took more photos of the receiver. If anybody can help my identify it, it would be greatly apreciated. It does bring it back far enough to get enough power to ignite the primer though. It is pretty worn, and it doesnt push the firing pin far enough back to engage the safety. The reason I am asking, is because I need to get a new sear for it. We have shoot it in the past and it is a great rifle. Judging from the rifle and pics I have seen, it looks to be a 1893 or 1895 Spanish Mauser. SPANISH MAUSER SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBERSThe person who did the sporterizing got rid of all the stampings on the metal except the serial numbers on the bolt, barrel and reciever. He bought it all done, and I am trying to identify it. My dad has an old sporterized mauser that he bought when he was younger. ![]()
