Hello all..I picked up this disassembled Spanish Mauser (1916?), at least that is what was told to me and with the little research I have done. Its missing both the front and rear sights, the long receiver/magazine bolt. Other than that she is a complete rifle unless I'm missing something, which is why I'm telling her story. I am a newbie when it comes to Mausers, but am slowly learning, I'm pretty sure this is a 1916. First or second pattern, I really don't know. I'll be trying to track down the parts I need, but that all hinges on exactly what model I have here. I would appreciate any and all responses and thoughts.
The stock has a few hairline cracks, one right behind the tang and one at the butt end originating from the lower buttplate screw. The bore is in excellent shape, the bolt needs a little cleaning up. Also, needless to say, only matching number are the barrel and receiver, yet written in pencil on the stock and hand guard also. No import mark any where, no date or manufacturer stamps either. Well I'll let the pics tell the rest, thanks for looking...
