Spanish Civil War use Dragoon
Recently bought the rifle shown. Carefully stripped it without spreading the wire hangers. Apparently a '25 Dragoon. SCW indicators are 1) the flaming bomb cartouche on left side of butt; 2) the wire sling hangers; 3) apparently non-refurbed mechanicals (non-matching and mixed origin of parts); 4) probable spanish made walnut stock (looks like it was inletted using a sharpened spoon!) with spanish handguard; 5) spanish cleaning rod. One photo shows "ceneyo 39" or something similar written in pencil in the barrel channel of the stock. The action body has the remnants of what must have been a very deep, high quality bluing. Surprisingly, the bore is pretty fair- dark but good rifling. Might be an OK shooter but probably won't shoot it given the number of cheap Russian re-furbs in the safe.

Excellent rifle. If that's not an SCW vet, I don't know what is!

Ridolpho,
Is the action Mauser? At first glance, that's what I though it might be.
Just kind of curious, good looking rifle.

mpw5: No, it's Mosin-Nagant. They're a rather distinct action with a separate bolt head.
