What's Included
- Fabrica De Armas De La Coruna Modelo 1944 "Ejército del Aire" Spanish Mauser M44 stripped action (Mauser 98-type receiver)
Made at La Coruña in 1944, this receiver represents WWII-era Spanish production and carries the correct factory legend on the receiver ring. The Spanish crest is present on the ring, along with the "CAL 7,92" caliber marking consistent with 8mm Mauser chambering.
Built on the Mauser 98 pattern, this is a large-ring short-rifle receiver with the integral charger/stripper-clip guide. The robust steel receiver and Mauser 98 layout make it a recognizable foundation for period-correct builds or parts integration consistent with the Spanish M44 pattern.
This example is specifically marked for the Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire) and follows the EA-prefix serial format used for Air Force-designated arms. Those markings, paired with the 1944 La Coruña legend, tie the action to its intended service branch and production period.
The receiver is in the white and shows areas stripped of finish, consistent with its status as a stripped action. Notable features include the two small drilled holes on the upper left of the receiver ring face, as well as visible factory and service markings that remain legible.
