Very good to hear. Now I guess I can't say that I have no modern analogy (altho I'd just as soon not have wished that on anyone).

Well, we haven't really met, but if you live somewhere along or near the route(s) from Texline to Tyler (mostly 287 + 82 or 380 to 69), then I might stop and buy you an adult beverage or whatever on one of my twice a year trips to visit family in Tyler. I was born there, lived there through high school.
Really? Darn, it's hard to remember sometimes ....

Tyler eh - hmmm ... last trip down there, wife and I stayed at the Super 8 near a large red light intersection. Met a buddy and we drove not that far to an indoor range - threw some lead! Forget the details.
Since then - it is a place that has gained some notoriety, instance the court house deal.
Back on topic - anyone still interested in a 1916 - get one and go play with cast bullet loads - lotta safe fun.

True or false
Good points all...
I have not sen any published AND documented instances of failure eitherm, but have read all the rumor and hype. However. follow this link to see important data on the Spanish Rifles and 7.62 NATO round http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/fr8/index.asp
P95-Absolutely nothing wrong with being safe, especially when there are so many other rifles on the market, but the begining of this thread was about somene trying to find a cheap rifle and a .308 bolt under $150.00 is awesome IMHO.
When its all said and done, I think these companies wold not sell anthiing that unsafe in this gun-hating, litigious society we find ourselves living in. Sometimes I think I was born one 100 years too late, then I realize I would have missed out on all the cool "toys" we have now.

Have you never seen the results of Century's angry beavers?
Most of the importers are not qualified gunsmiths. Those that have gunsmiths on hand seem to work them in assembly-line fashion such that any given weapon gets but the most cursory of examinations - grading the weapon on basic function and finish. These folks are NOT doing things like scoping the barrel and looking for the microscopic cracks that portend disaster for the user if the user gets frisky with pressures.
To expect that the weapon has been fully vetted is giving far too much credit to most importers. They're playing the odds and moving iron, is all.

I have a copy of the Guns and Ammo article where they tested the 1916 Spanish Civil Guardia rifle. File is too big to attach, PM for a copy.

After reading ARMOREDMAN'S article and others on the internet I've decided to give the Spanish Mauser a try. Unfortunately AIM is now out of stock. Does anyone know where this rifle may be found.
Guess I overthought myself on this one.
