    1893 Spanish Mauser outing

    I was helping at 'Sighting In Days' at my Sportsmen's Club on Sunday. After the 'Public' left, I had a chance to do a little shooting with my Ludwig Loewe Model 1893 Spanish Mauser.

    I shot some old Winchester-Western (175 grain bullet) loads and some new Prvi (139 grain bullet) loads. Accuracy was pleasing to me and shots grouped close to point of aim at 50 and 100 yards. Surprisingly, both bullet weights printed to same area of targets.

    I'm sure 100 yard group would have been much tighter if my eyes had not started seeing the front-blade as a blur.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
