1893 Spanish Mauser Serial Numbers

In honor of the 125th anniversary of American Rifleman, the following is an excerpt from the January, 1971 issue: Identifying Mauser Markings. The 1893 Mauser fired a new, smokeless, rimless cartridge designated as the 7 x 57mm Mauser (hereto known as the 7mm Mauser). That’s right, folks. Paul Mauser was designing 7mm cartridges and rifles a good 75 years or so before 7mm was the cool caliber to have.

This rifle is one of a few that I've recently retrieved from storage. It's been so long that I don't even remember buying it. I do have a receipt so I obviously did. At least I believe this is the rifle the receipt pertains to.

Says it's 7mm. I have several boxes of 7X57 ammo so. Anyway, what it appears to be is an unmarked Model 1916 with a 1893 barrel, some bubba got his hands on. The serial number on the receiver is 7873 and the one of the barrel is 782. The only other marks on the gun are a few proof marks. See pictures below. What I need is to know if my assessment is correct and if not than what is it?

Looks like a sporterized 1916 Spanish Mauser. The thumb slot and the oval vent hole, both on the left side of the receiver are a dead give away to its origin. The things were widely available in the 50's and 60's for less than $20, but were very accurate in the original 7 X 57 caliber. For just a few bucks a guy could get a solid rifle and with little effort sporterize it into a decent deer rifle. Military surplus ammo was cheap and plentiful back then. ETA: OP, I just reread your post and I wondered why your rifle had the '93 rear sight on it. Now that I understand that it has been rebarreled it makes perfect sense.

I have one that I've had since 1967 that I kept in its original form without any modification. It still shoots great! Pdf navod na vigor 2700 voip comparison chart. Samco Global Arms in Miami has original stocks with the metal parts I think for $50 or $60. Use the 'Contact Us' feature on their website to inquire about getting one. They are very slow, but their products are usually first rate. Here's my old Spanish Mauser.

Snakedriver - that is one very VERY NICE '93, Bro. I bought one just like it in 1965 from a surplus store for $15 with lawn mowing money. Had my Mom take it to a gunsmith (a fly-by-night) while I was in Nam to have it customized. Never saw it again. Sure would like another.

Bought an M1916 Mauser that had beeen re-bored to.308 in 1986. I realized my mistake and took it back and used it as a trade on an Isreali '98 Mauser in 7.62. That is one great shooting rifle. One problem, though - the 7.62 NATO rounds are shorter than the 8X57 rounds and it doesn't feed well from the mag.
