I've got one, they're handy, solid rifles and highly underrated. That's a very fair price. GLWS.

Question: Is this an oviedo (spanish) or german manufactured gun?

 

[crossbow5]

According to Robert Ball's 5th edition of "Mauser Military Rifles of the World", these rifles were rebuilt from existing rifles and rebarreled to 7.62 NATO/CETME in the 1960's at Oviedo. There is no crest on the receiver. It looks as if the crest was scrubbed and re-blued.
