Oviedo Model 1916 – 7x57mm – Historic Bolt Action – Spanish 7mm Mauser

This is a no reserve penny auction for an Oviedo Model 1916 bolt-action rifle in 7x57mm. Serial number-Z6903. This rifle is in good/fair condition with a good bore for its age (distinct rifling with light frosting). This rifle has been sporterized (there are some cracks on the stock) with a drilled and tapped receiver. The Spanish Model 1916 Short Rifle is a shortened version of the Spanish Model 1893 rifle. It was made by Fabrica De Armas Oviedo, a major manufacturer of Mauser-type rifles for the Spanish Military during the entire first half of the last century. After the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930’s, the government refinished the M1916 rifles, and they are distinctive for their "blank" receiver rings. Most rifles were then converted to .308 WIN in the late 1950’s when Spain decided to adopt that round for the Military and Guardia civil. We believe this rifle wasn't re-chambered, but check with a qualified gunsmith to be sure before you shoot it.
