Is the American Springfield.30 caliber rifle the same as the German Mao Se rifle?

1895, the rise of nationalism, the world's colonies began to demand independence, followed by independence. Cuba at the doorstep of the United States naturally began to resist Spanish rule. American Monroe Doctrine, which flaunts freedom and especially hates European interference in American affairs, naturally stands on Cuba's side.

1898, the United States and Spain fought a war, known in history as the Spanish-American War.

At that time, American troops and heavy weapons were absolutely dominant, but their rifles were Cragg Joergensen. Compared with Mao Se 1893, this product has great disadvantages. Its magazine is very ghost, and it is open to the side, so it can only be loaded with one shot.

Although Mao Se 1893 also has a bomb load of 5 rounds, it is already full of bridge clips, and its combat firing rate is much faster than that of bibik Ram Jorgensen.

In the offensive and defensive war in Santiago, more than 700 Spaniards armed with Mao Se rifles blocked the attack of15,000 American troops. Although Spain lost in the end, American troops suffered as many casualties as 1400. At that time, the US military believed that this was mainly the pot of Cragg and Jorgensen.

This is not only the firing rate, but also the bearing capacity of Mao Se's double locking tenon nose. bibik Ram Jorgensen's single locking tenon is stronger, safer and more suitable for firing powerful rifle bullets. Based on the principle that Mao Se is really fragrant, the US military began the process of shanzhai, and the final product was Springfield 1903.

This is M 1903 bolt machine.

This is a musket machine, so I asked you if you looked alike.

Of course, Mao Se won't turn a blind eye to this kind of fake, so he sued Springfield, and the United States naturally lost a sum of money and paid the patent fee to the Germans every year. But when World War I started, Americans started Bai Piao and never paid Mao Se again.

Springfield.30 rifle was modified from Mao Se 98 by the Springfield Arsenal authorized by German Mao Se Company. There used to be a translator called Springfield rifle. In World War II, this kind of rifle received great assistance from China. The so-called rifles in the American army are basically this kind of Springfield rifle, and this kind of rifle is nicknamed Citigroup Mao Se, which can clearly see the relationship between Springfield and Mao Se.

Several models of Springfield rifles, the total length of Springfield rifles 1098 mm, were relatively short among the rifles at that time. I found a photo where I can see the bolt, which is not very clear. You can compare it with the bolt of Mao Se rifle below. They are almost the same. The imitation object of Springfield rifle is Mao Se 98. Note that it's not Mauser 98K. The total length of Mao Se 98 rifle is 1255mm, which is almost the same as that of March 8th. Later, the barrel of 98K was shortened, but other parts remained basically unchanged. The total length of 98K rifle is similar to Springfield rifle.
