Spanish Mauser 1916


One of many quite inexpensive C&R rifles and getting close to carbine in size. It is chambered for the .308 Win but much doubt exists as to whether it is actually man enough to handle that - in part because of considerations involving the bolt lock-up strength.

It has become because of this an enjoyable platform for experimentation with cast rifle bullets, which of course do not reach anywhere near the peak pressures. Better to play safe!
