I will take this one, comments to follow in next few days. Zawed (talk) 03:07, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Lead

• The last sentence of the 1st para - mentions flush with bottom of stock/rifle twice.
  • Fixed

Development

• A few terms could be linked, e.g. box magazine, stock (firearms), extractor (firearms), bolt (firearms)
  • Done

Description

• "As was standard for Mauser rifles, a three-position safety...": suggest "As was standard for Mauser rifles, the M1893 was configured with a three-position safety..." or something similar
  • Good idea
• "...did not include a third, rear locking lug, which was introduced with the Model 1895." The notes that end this sentence are out of order
  • Fixed

Derivatives

• "M1894 rifles were also sold to Brazil, chambered in 7&n mm,...": please check the dimensions for the round
  • Fixed, good catch

Ottoman variant

• "Most all of these rifles still..": Needs to be rephrased depending on whether all rifles or most of them were rebarrelled
  • Fixed.

References

• Hamilton is not in alphabetical order
  • No, the one before is "de" and the one after is "Peterson"
• Westwood doesn't seem to be cited at all
  • He is - FN 26
    • Whoops, how did I miss that...Zawed (talk) 07:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Other stuff

• Image tags seem appropriate
• No dupe links
• No dab links
• External links check out OK

Will check back in a few days. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 08:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
