Spanish 1916 Short Rifle

[Aragorn243]

Mentioned this up in the General Milsurps forum. This is a Samco imported rifle that went through the auction process and is now being sold for $149 at gun shows. Dealer appears to be Old Western Scrounger or someone closely associated with him as that's where my receipt is from. This is in original 7mm and as you can see is not in bad shape. This was not the nicest rifle they had out but I wanted a crest and crests were only on about a quarter of them. They also have 308 or NATO configurations if you are so inclined for $169. I was told they purchased 8000 of them. The finish is thin throughout. Almost no rust on it and what was there was very light. I did nothing to this other than wipe it down with linseed oil and get the old crud off it.
