'Broomhandle' Mauser C.96 with stock

Mauser C.96 - 7.63x25 Mauser. This is a Wartime Commercial model - most likely made in 1918 judging by the serial number

Preparing, loading and firing ten rounds from the Mauser C.96.

The stripper clips are a bit fiddly. I don't really have any decent video editing software to smooth those transitions, my apologies.

im no expert but does that hammer moving back and forth behind the gun have any chance of slamming the user on his thumb?

@fullfist It is a concern with the stock fixed as your thumb must cross over. Without the stock the hammer doesn't come close to your thumb.

looks tough to reaload..

@RogerVan92 Faster than a loading-gate revolver which was its primary competition in the 1890's when it was designed.

Wouldn't this be the Astra Spanish reproduction seeing as how it uses those stripper clips?

[DrakeGmbH]

@HackerAndBootSniffer It's a Mauser. They've used 10-round stripper clips since 1896. The roll marks on the side of the frame and top of the chamber assert that.

@evildude109 A transferable machine gun (registered prior to May 1986) is exempt from other NFA registration. The barrel length and presence of a stock is inconsequential. This, however, is a C&R pistol and requires no tax stamps.

That pistol is huge! I read about the Mauser c96 many times but this is my first time seeing it loaded and shot. Wow! Thanks for posting!

[serbianhero]

An icon! I just found one wartime commercial too, with Kriegsmarine acceptation stamp, for a fair price, Just have to wait the papers... Good vid anyway!

@MetallumGamer And thumbs down if because of Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows?

I love my C96 (1915 Model), dissasemble is a pain in the ass after each shooting ( corrosive ammo -.- ), but it is such a fun gun. It's always an attention getter at the range I go to!

@something01992 how much money do you have ? the c 96 is very expensive .. unless your "opa" served in the "Kaiserliches Heer " or the "wehrmacht" and got one of these
