When you go to peddle that thing, it is almost inevitable that some damn fool will come up with something on the order of, "Them there Spanish rifles are weak and ya'll gonna shoot yer eye out".
In fact, there was such a rumor, and Samco and Interarmco hired an independent laboratory to test them and publish the results to put the rumors to rest. La Coruna '98 clones on average survived to 98,500 pounds before they were destroyed. I have heard what started the rumor, was some garage gunsmiths chambered 1893 and '95 Oviedo and La Coruna Mausers to .308, with predictable failures.
