• Historical Notes:

The M1893 Mauser was a groundbreaking design by Paul Mauser, featuring a flush-fitting magazine and smokeless powder 7x57mm rounds, which outperformed the U.S. Krag-Jørgensen rifles during the Spanish-American War. Its reliability and accuracy led to the development of the U.S. M1903 Springfield. Approximately 500,000 M1893 rifles were produced at Oviedo, with production spanning from 1896 to 1943. This rifle is C&R eligible and considered an antique if manufactured before 1899, requiring no FFL for transfer in many cases (check local laws).
