Spanish M43 Mauser rifle

[lithgow]

I have bought a Civil Guard example of the M43- it is in excellent condition except for the outside of the magazine floorplate which is fairly heavily scratched and worn-is this common in this type? The floorplate serial no. matches the rest of the rifle-I thought it may be due to range practice use or knocking against metal items on the webbing harness of the Guardia.

Still at dealers-along with another 10 rifles/pistol of mine-licensing is very strict in Australia.
