Spanish Oviedo Model 1893

**Anzac15** · 07-09-2023 06:14 PM

Just picked this up. Seemingly a typical Spanish Oviedo M1893...however we have a hinged mag floorplate with a mag floorplate release in the trigger guard similar to a Japanese icon

Type 38.
Any thoughts? Have never seen this.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Hi,

Maybe this thread will be helpful for you. I have heard about this arrangement on Oviedo 1916s, but not 1893s, until investigating yours. Apparently, this is not common, but also is known to collectors.

All I can say is the Spanish re-worked and re-built their rifles over the years mixing and matching whatever parts fit and worked. I have a Polish WZ that had mostly German icon

parts on it that worked great because I also got a German AZ that needed it's metal bands, etc. Polish parts are available, German ones weren't.

I don't think the swapping is deliberate, it's just a matter of a couple of rifles not working and combining the two to make a good one.
