I have had this 1916 for decades. It is a Guardia Civil with the crossed sword and fasces on the ring. It is of 1930's manufacture (not a cut down 1893) later converted to 7.62 NATO

(BTW, all well intended readers: please spare your lecture regarding ammo for this rifle. I have heard it all had probably have more true info than you do. Including a bunch of original documents in Spanish).

After only occasionally shooting this rifle over the decades, I did a major refurbishment this last year. Strip and reblue, scope installation, added a flash hider, put the it all in a new stock. Made the trigger real sweet. Added a sling with proper mounts.

The old stock was split up front. And the ergonomics of the straight military style stock just does not work for me. I much prefer a traditional turn-down grip.

I have put about 500 rounds through it in the last year or so.
