I couldn't find any hard facts on it. I did see spanish testing reports where they were chasing tighter shooting groups than the rifles delivered by Loewe.

2021-09-05 07:25:07 +0000 UTCI hope you'll get to the Chilean Mauser of 1895. I actually own one of those. 😅

2021-09-04 23:59:00 +0000 UTCAny truth in the assertion that Spanish steel was inferior in the Oviedo rifles?
Monte Harrison
2021-09-04 14:50:16 +0000 UTCAccording to the Spanish, the Oviedo were FAR superior!

2021-09-04 03:39:09 +0000 UTCMaybe a neutral war rifle ranking

2021-09-04 02:29:01 +0000 UTCGot excited when he mention 762 NATO, can't wait to hear about the 1916

2021-09-02 01:39:01 +0000 UTCCrazy how Paul Mauser introduced the 7mil as the best full power rifle cartridge of the time. 130 odd years later and according to US ordnance he was only off by about 0.2mm (albeit with a fair bit more powder, but look at the casing technology that’s been implemented to contain the pressures!). Pretty cool though.

2021-08-31 10:55:33 +0000 UTCBeen waiting to see this one come around for a while. Thanks for filling in this key missing link in your Mauser chronology!

2021-08-31 08:58:30 +0000 UTCDuring WWI, Spain itself was deeply divided between traditionalists supporting the Central Powers and socialists supporting France and Britain. Thus, they determinedly remained Neutral in spite of significant U-Boat predation on their merchantmen. I know of no use of the Spanish M1893 Mauser in WWI. So, now we can study the great South American Mausers too, I suppose. You might also comment on the obvious differences in manufacturing quality of Oviedo versus German-made Mauser rifles.

2021-08-31 07:52:52 +0000 UTCyou know what would be a cool filler episode? Which neutral country was best prepared in the alternate universe in which they were dragged in? My money would be on the swiss, but not because of the 1911
David Herman
2021-08-31 07:37:40 +0000 UTCOh and you said something negative about the Type 38.
2021-08-31 06:14:02 +0000 UTCAnother difference between the spanish 1893 and ottoman 1893 is the ottoman used the older style of stripper clip guide. Which I think is mentioned once but then multiple times after you say the only difference is magazine cut-off.
2021-08-31 06:00:24 +0000 UTCNothing like a good dose of historical firearms after a day of work, sounds like the next one will have even more history so I am eagerly awaiting it. I did notice the Primer theme song section had some distorted lines when it was playing, I reloaded the video to make sure it was not on my end but it still does it. The segment displaying the gun just before are fine as is the episode itself so it seems only the stock intro has the issue.
