Argentine 1909 Rifle / Re: 7.65 Arg
« on: August 06, 2014, 09:37:20 PM »
I am  happy  to have a sporterized 1909  Argentine Mauser.... 30.06  I have had it for 27 yrs. Timmney trigger is my only addition. (+  padded camo stock sleeve ..  to save the nice  50"s style cheek piece )
 Nicest gun I ever bought from a customer, when I was in the  Tavern Buisiness. Little heavy, with the figured Turkish Walnut ..high gloss , to imitate a Weatherby. I could go on ..... More stories in a later thread.

I shoot a #  S&W  Revolver better than my Beretta 92s... because of the grip size & feel.
I surely like to have a trade off at the range with you. NATURALLY...★★★ I would supply the ammo for us.

I Googled C96 serial numbers..for commercial wartime models. My C-96 Broom starts # with 382325
According ti that site....late 1916-early 1917 ( on the cusp...as it were)
Your  Broom. is most likely 1917 according to my finds.

You have done exceptionally well, with that "9". Very ★★★★lucky indeed.
Looks mighty original, and well kept.
Please keep it that way, don't let anyone" doll it up "
