Matching bolt handle; other small parts non-matching. Bolt-action rifle featuring a turned-down bolt handle, barleycorn front sight with protective ears, and an adjustable U-notch ladder rear sight. Metal surfaces have been polished and reblued. Two-piece full military wood stock. Smooth steel butt plate, sling swivels with a black leather military sling, saddle ring.
Bore condition is good with a shiny interior and visible rifling. Metal shows light pitting, surface wear, and handling marks from age and service. Wood exhibits scratches, dents, and small areas of wear, consistent with vintage military use. Barrel length approximately 17.5".
A solid representative example of the Spanish Model 1916 short carbine, later converted to 7.62 NATO for postwar service use — compact, reliable, and historically significant.
