Franco&#8217;s political ties to Germany (combined with Spanish neutrality in the war) gave them unusually good access to German arms designs, and the Spanish experimented with several variations on the StG-44 in the late 1940s and 1950s. Of course, this would ultimately lead to the development and adoption of the roller-delayed CETME, but before that the intermediate cartridge idea was very much a subject of Spanish attention.<\/p>\n<p>This particular rifle, designated Mosqueton CB-51, was one of those intermediate cartridge experiments. It retained the furniture and general appearance of a Mauser bolt action short rifle, but used a long stroke gas piston and rotating bolt in a self-loading action. Only 12 of these were made, although several other designs were also prototyped concurrently (including others also designated CB-51, confusingly). <\/p>\n<p>Related:<br \/>\nFR-8: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MvsQ44jKEKY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MvsQ44jKEKY<\/a><br \/>\nCETME-L: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GLAfqI8DHjY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GLAfqI8DHjY<\/a><br \/>\nMP-44 Mechanics: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HnXBshjGFo8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HnXBshjGFo8<\/a><br \/>\nLast Ditch Innovation &#8211; Development of the Gerat 06 and 06H: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WEPwmYcCPFs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WEPwmYcCPFs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons Merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons The Spanish military, like many others, was quite interested in developing a new semiautomatic or selective fire combat rifle after World War II.
