C96 disassembly and reassembly

The disassembly and reassembly of the Mauser C96 handgun. Also known as the Broomhandle.

As far as I know, a video like this hasn't been done before because it's a very complex gun. See how much I love you guys?

Enjoy!

Really impressive to see a different lock system beyond all the Browning and Beretta. I'm a Glock fan, but I would really like to have a C96.

@Protherium Well, it's an early solution to a complicated problem. Not the simplest, but definitely the most beautiful in it's complexity.

The M1895 screwdriver is it the same tool used on the 1895 Nagant revolver? Also what can be used instead of the M1895 screwdriver?

[MosinDragunov1891]

@WestFordAlan Any very narrow flathead screwdriver. The original screwdriver packaged with the pistol had a semi-circle shaped head, as opposed to the flat point on a flathead screwdriver.

I just bought one of these,a C96 Bolo Post War variant.Your video was more informative than any of the online text instructions.I like how you DIDNT have any heavy metal music or other annoying things.Nice straight forward video.

Thats an A-Zoom soild aluminum 'snap" cap/training dummy round folks,not live ammo.

Yes,a nice copper or lead bullet tip makes the perfect take town tool for the mag floor plate,yup Mauser says to do this in the manual.7.63x25 uses a heavy crimp,or should.

Thanks!!!

@rodinal220 I wanted to have some nice music in the background, but I couldn't find anything that would compliment the video, so I figured that the sound of the parts was good enough. =)

I have some old 1900-1910's 7.63x25mm SP ammo kicking about and it has a very heavy crimp which pretty much pushes into the nickel jacket.

Just got a c-96 it rocks. thanks 4 making this video its going 2 help alot in the cleaning of my gun.

[2StrokeKaiser]

It is'nt Full-Auto. The Full Auto Version was produced in the late 1930's an was called M712 an had a removable Mag.....

This one is definitely a C96.

And Guy: Please don't call the old germans "Nazi's"

This word is a defamation for every normal and correct german. ;)

[KLOLWTF]

How much did this pistol cost?

[MosinDragunov1891]

@dan13718 That's your opinion. You're welcome to express it.

[MosinDragunov1891]

@dan13718 That was uncalled for.
