Visit to a military museum in Spain (PICS!)

[Sergei Mosin]

Saw lots of Mausers but no 91/30s. I personally own a 91/30 used in the Spanish Civil War and I know Stalin sent over a ton of them. Maybe it is the age old story of the victor getting to tell the story?

In the last photo in post #3 there is what appears to be an M91. Lots of those went to Spain along with the 91/30s. I think I also spotted a Winchester M1895 which the Soviets supplied to the Spanish Republic.

Interesting to see a scoped FR-8 without a front sight.

Thanks for sharing.

Also check out the national Army Museum in Madrid, http://www.ejercito.mde.es/en/unidades/Madrid/ihycm/Museos/ejercito/museo/historia/

My father in law was a lieutenant in Franco's army, I think he was issued a 7mm Mauser.
