GEW 1888 Bolt Action Rifle Imperial German Spandau 1890 Antique No FFL Required
Description: An Imperial German Spandau 1890 Dated GEW 88 Bolt Action Rifle in very good condition with a good bore. The Gewehr 88, also called the Model 1888 Commission Rifle, was a late 19th-century German bolt action rifle, adopted in 1888. The invention of smokeless powder in the late 19th century immediately rendered all of the large-bore black powder rifles then in use obsolete. To keep pace with the French,who had adopted smokeless powder, small bore Lebel Model 1886 rifle, the Germans adopted the Gewehr 88 using its own new M/88 (Patrone 88) cartridge. It features a distinctive barrel jacket, and uses a 5 round internal magazine fed with a Mannlicher style en bloc clip. Originally chambered for 7.92mm Patrone 88 ammunition and had a fixed magazine. As with virtually all Gewehr 88 rifles in service, this example was converted to take the 7.92×57mm Mauser S Patrone, and has an S stamped above the chamber, indicating the conversion. The Spitzer-shaped S Cartridge was ballistically superior to the M/88, however the chamber required modification to accept the thicker walled shell casing. Antique firearms category. Can ship directly to an adult. Proof of age is required, copy of drivers license is fine. Will ship to provided address. Zelle, cashiers check, money order or personal cherck accepted.
