Mondragón Rifle
The Mexican Mondragón Rifle was developed by the Mexican officer and later General Manuel Mondragón. He experimented starting from c.1890 with self-loading rifles, while the global arms industry still dealt with repeating rifles. In 1891 he presented his first self-loading rifle. He also developed the M1893, a straight-pull bolt action design, chambered for the 6.5x48mm cartridge. Further improvements to the model in 1908 followed, which introduced to the Mexican army, but in 1911 only in a small amount of the SIG-Sauer, Neuhausen, decreased. The German Empire took over a remaining stock of this model in 1915 as the "Flieger-Selbstlade-Karabiner Modell 15 (Mondragon)".
