Some recent additions to my collection

[Nyles]

Well, haven't posted here in awhile! Due to home ownership my gun buying has slowed, but there's still a bunch of stuff I haven't posted here.



Looks like a Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine, but look closer!





It's actually a Garate Tigre, a Spanish copy of the Winchester 92 SRC made for issue to the Guardia Civil and Guardia de Asalto, the Spanish rural and urban police forces, respectively, in the 20s and 30s leading up to the Spanish Civil War. Key differences are the Mauser style sight and sling swivels. These were widely used, espescially by irregular forces, during the Spanish Civil War, in fact the president of the Spanish Republic, Manuel Azaña, carried one while visiting the front.
