This Model 1916 Short Rifle is a 1930's Government Refurbish (no markings other than the serial number) and still retains the original 7mm Mauser caliber bore (no import markings). Starting in 1943, many of the M1916 rifles were converted to fire the larger and more powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge, which Spain had adopted that year with the M43 rifle. The Model 1916 Short Rifle (22" barrel) was first adopted on Novemto replace the M1895 carbine, the short barrels of which were not optimized to take advantage of the higher velocity of the M1913 cartridge. Bolts also had longer oval gas holes when made new from the late 1920s onwards.

To have such losses inflicted upon them by such inferior numbers was a shock, and in the usual military manner, an investigation was conducted. That was almost 20 percent of their attacking force. When the brave-if disorganized-assault was over, the Americans discovered to their dismay that they had suffered more than 1,400 casualties. The attacking force numbered approximately 6,600 American soldiers, most of them regulars, armed with the then-new smokeless-powder Krag-Jorgensen rifle and supported by artillery and Gatling gun fire. During the American assault on the strategic Cuban city of Santiago, 750 Spanish troops defended positions on San Juan and Kettle hills. military history and the development of modern, military small arms.
