OWS Spanish Mausers

[wpflgun]

Does anyone have experience with the 1916 Mausers OWS had advertised?

I have no experience with the ones OWS is selling (and I have no experience purchasing from OWS) but . . . I have owned four Spanish m1916s. The one I still own is quite pretty, but the rifling is worn and the bore is oversize. The rifle shoots well with the oversize projos I get from Buffalo Arms, but not well at all with the .284" 139-grain SPs I'd like to be using.

Another m1916 I owned for a while (a GB purchase back in my early days of collecting) was a total beater--but it did shoot bullets in roughly the direction the muzzle was pointed. If I were writing a description of that rifle, and I were a plagiarist, I would simply crib from the copy on the OWS site (except that my beater had a handguard).

For myself, based on their description, I wouldn't buy one of the OWS m1916s without handling it first--unless I was looking for a bargain and another Sisyphean project.

My $0.02. YMMV
