Spanish Mauser 1916 Series Of Mauser
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.The M1893 was developed into several variants, including a shortened carbine adopted by the Spanish as the M1895, and as the M1913 and M1916 short rifles. 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 impetus for the change was a series of defeats of Spanish forces around the enclave at Melilla in North Africa. These rifles did not satisfy the Spanish Army, and so on 2 December 1891, the Army ordered 1,200 Model 1891 Mausers that used new smokeless powder ammunition. The marked superiority of the M1893 over its American opponent in the Spanish–American War, the Krag–Jørgensens, led the US Army to develop the M1903 Springfield, which itself heavily copied Mauser's designs.In 1887, the Spanish Army began trials of the Turkish Model 1887 Mauser rifles, which utilized black powder cartridges.
Mauser's design work produced the Model 1892, a transitional design that was manufactured in limited numbers for the Spanish Army. As a result, Paul Mauser decided to design a new rifle that would correct the problems with the earlier rifles, and allow the company to secure more arms contracts. The stripper clip guide and the clips themselves were also unreliable and the bolt design allowed the rifle to double-feed rounds of ammunition. Among the issues that had been identified were an unreliable extractor, a detachable box magazine that was frequently lost and extended below the bottom of the stock, which caused problems with carrying the rifle slung.
Other internal changes were made to simplify the action and increase its reliability and safety, including alterations to the sear to prevent it from releasing the firing pin if the bolt was not fully in battery. The stripper clips and the clip guides were improved to make them easier to use. The magazine box and trigger guard were machined as a single piece, preventing the box from being removed and lost, though the magazine was still a single-stack design that extended below the bottom of the stock. The M1892 rifle introduced a number of innovations to remedy the problems of the earlier rifles, including the large non-rotating claw extractor on the bolt, which prevented double-feeds. At the same time, Mauser developed the 7×57mm Mauser cartridge for the Spanish Army, which adopted the round the following year for the M1892 rifles.
Description The M1893 was manufactured in two variants for Spain, a standard rifle with a 29.06-inch (738 mm) barrel and a short carbine with a 21.75-inch (552 mm) barrel. For his work in developing such an effective rifle, Mauser received the Grand Cross of the Order of Military Merit from the Spanish government. The Spanish Army adopted the M1893 on 7 December 1893. Apart from a redesigned receiver to fit the wider magazine, the action of the M1893 was essentially identical to the M1892. This was the first time a Mauser rifle included a fully contained magazine. The new M1893 version incorporated a staggered 5-round magazine that did not extend below the bottom of the stock.
The rifle weighed 8.8 pounds (4.0 kg), while the carbine weighed about 8.3 pounds (3.8 kg). The 7 mm ammunition was fired at a muzzle velocity of 2,330 feet per second (710 m/s) from the standard rifle-length barrel. The rifling twist rate was 1 revolution in 8.68 inches (220 mm). Both of these variants were chambered in the 7 mm caliber developed by Mauser, and the barrel had 4-groove rifling with a right-hand twist.
As was standard for Mauser rifles, the M1893 was configured with a three-position safety that locked the action or allowed the bolt to be worked but with a disabled firing pin, in addition to the fire setting. Most bolts featured a straight handle with a rounded grasping knob, though the short rifles were fitted with bolts that had turned down handles. The receivers had guides for stripper clips milled into the bridge for increased reliability, though the rifles could also be loaded individually. The receiver for all versions of the rifle and the one-piece bolt were forged steel. The Ottoman variant weighed about 9 pounds (4.1 kg).
The M1893 magazine included a bolt stop, which prevented the bolt from being closed on an empty magazine, thus indicating to the soldier that the rifle was empty. As a result, the bolt was not as strong as later designs. The forward receiver ring diameter were the two forward locking lugs achieved lockup is 33 millimetres (1.30 in). The bolt was a cock on close design, and locked with a pair of forward locking lugs unlike later Mauser designs, it did not include a third, rear locking lug, which was introduced with the Model 1895.
Derivatives In 1894, Mauser designed a new version of the rifle, designated the Model 1894, chambered in 6.5×55mm for the Swedish Army. Each rifle was issued with an M1893 sword bayonet. The stock was attached to the barrel with two barrel bands, the forward-most of which also included a bayonet lug for the rifle variant, while the short carbine did not receive the bayonet lug. The barreled receiver was fitted with a wood stock with a straight grip. Later rifles, manufactured from May 1906 onward, received a modernized rear sight, and a third version of the rear sight was adopted in 1913 after an improved 7 mm round, which had the significantly higher muzzle velocity of 2,790 feet per second (850 m/s), was adopted. The iron sights included a tangent V-notch rear sight that was graduated from 400 meters (1,300 ft) to 2,000 m (6,600 ft).
The design was refined further into the Model 1896, which was sold to Sweden and the Boer states, the latter placed into very effective use during the Second Boer War of 1899–1902. Spain also acquired a variant of the M1895 that was essentially identical to the M1893 series with the exception of its 17.5-inch (440 mm) barrel. The M1895 was also sold to China, Luxembourg, and Persia.
