Description:
SPANISH OVIEDO Model 1916 MAUSER 7.62x51 NATO Bolt Action C&R SHORT RIFLE
Military Rifle with CIVIL GUARD CREST on Receiver
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 M1916 was manufactured by Fábrica de Armas from 1916 to 1951 and Industrias de Guerra de Cataluna from 1936 to 1939.
This example was likely arsenal refurbished over the years of service, as the serial numbers no longer match. It would have started out life as a 7mm rifle and converted to 7.62 NATO after being refurbished.
The overall condition is very good. Nicely refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The stock has been refinished as well and is smooth and solid. The barrel band is a bit oversized as a result, but is the original. Numbers match.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
