Description: Great condition, 1962 Destroyer carbine. The Destroyer Carbine is a small bolt-action carbine usually chambered for the 9 × 23 mm Largo cartridge. It was used by Spanish police and prison services, including the Guardia Civil from the mid-1930s until the late 1960s, replacing the El Tigre Rifle. It continued the tradition, started in the 1890s, of issuing police units with a short, handy, repeating carbine in pistol caliber. It is essentially a scaled-down Mauser Model 1893 with two rear-mounted locking lugs and a Mauser-style two-position flip safety. The Destroyer fired the same ammunition as the standard-issue police handgun but used a 6-shot single stack magazine. The longer rifle barrel resulted in greater muzzle velocity, accuracy, and range. The Destroyer was initially manufactured in Eibar, Spain by Gaztanaga y Compania, then by Ayra Duria S.A. and possibly others, with some minor improvements made over time. While all rimless 9 mm caliber pistol cartridges will chamber in a Destroyer Carbine, and consequently will fire, it is extremely unsafe to use ammunition other than 9 × 23 mm Largo due to the dangers of excessive pressure. 9mm Largo SOLD Chambers: "Bolt action repeater, 6 round removable magazine.
