Ludwig Loewe manufactured around 22,500 of the M1895 carbines between 18 before licensing production to Fábrica de Armas, which built an unknown number of the rifles between 18, when production changed over to the Model 1916 short rifle. It received the 1895 designation as the Spanish Army did not approve the carbine for service until that year. Though the carbine bears the 1895 designation, it did not include the improvements made in the M1895, and was essentially just a shortened M1893.
The Spanish Army adopted the Model 1895 carbine on the rifle was essentially a shortened M1893, with a full-length stock that ran to the muzzle. Most of these rifles still in Turkish hands were later re-barreled and converted to fire the far more common and powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser after the Turkish Army adopted that caliber. The bayonet lug fit the M1890 Bayonet, which the Ottomans had already acquired in large numbers. Their rifles were chambered for the 7.65×53mm Argentine cartridge and were identical to the Spanish model, except for a, which when engaged permitted the feeding and extraction of single cartridges only while keeping the cartridges in the magazine in reserve, and a cylindrical bolt. When the Ottoman Army learned about the new Spanish model of 1893, it ordered some 200,000 rifles in the same configuration. What do you guys think? hold the top of the front sight level with the top of the rear or half way down? I'm still learning about these mausers and how they were designed to be used as far as the sights go.An Ottoman Mauser 1893, captured during the World War I and exposed in the Auckland Museum. I wana hold the front sight half way down the v of the rear sight and see what it does. Next Time I'm out I want to shoot at 50 again and change my sight picture. My question is are these sighted designed to be used that way? I wana shoot at 100 yards and see what it does. My sight picture was me placing the top of the front sight level with the rear sight. At 50 yards I was aiming 3 inches below center and hitting 1.5 to 2 inches above center. I only shot it at 50 yards, I probably need to shoot at 100. I ran out of time so I really couldn't change anything.
I took it to the range and put a few rounds through it and let me tell ya it's a shooter! WIndage was spot on but its shooting high. I actually plan on using it on a hog hunt this Aug, I wana let the old girl have some fun again. Someone reblued it at some point other than that there isnt much wrong with it, clean bore. I picked up a beautiful 1891 Argentine mauser that was made in 1899.
