Mauser Model 1893

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Mauser Model 1893, commonly called the Spanish Mauser, is a bolt-action rifle developed by Paul Mauser from the experimental M1892 rifle for the Spanish Army, introducing a short staggered-column box magazine that held five smokeless 7x57mm Mauser rounds and could be reloaded quickly with a stripper clip. It saw extensive service with Spain from the Spanish-American War of 1898 through the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939, and with the Ottoman Empire during the Greco-Turkish War, the Balkan Wars, and the First World War, and its design proved influential enough that the United States developed the M1903 Springfield after facing Mauser-armed Spanish troops.

    The M1893 was based on the experimental M1892 rifle, which Paul Mauser developed for the Spanish Army as part of a program to correct deficiencies in the earlier 1889, 1890, and 1891 series of Mauser rifles. The M1893 introduced a short staggered-column box magazine that fit flush with the bottom of the stock; the magazine held five smokeless 7×57mm Mauser rounds, which could be reloaded quickly by pushing a stripper clip from the top of the open bolt.
