    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 Russianicon re-furbs in the safe.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    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.
