C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Bent Red 9 firing pin

« on: January 26, 2022, 01:55:06 PM »

Hi, all. I striped my red 9 down the other day for a cleaning and noticed that the tip of the firing pin is bent a little. Obviously it's hard to say without looking at it in person, but how concerned should I be? It doesn't seemed damaged in any other way, just slightly bent. Is this common? Also how hard is it to replace a firing pin in a red 9?

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Red 9 serial number question

« on: January 19, 2022, 10:23:44 AM »

Hi, I recently bought a Red 9 with the serial number 10809 and I was wondering if someone could give me any information that they have on a pistol with this serial number. What contract, year of production, and any interesting history this pistol has would be nice to know. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows if the magazine follower to a Red 9 with this serial number should have a serial number or a scalloped top-mine has neither.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Red 9 shoulder stock and pricing question

« on: January 18, 2022, 10:50:24 PM »

Hello fellow forum goers,
  I recently bought a Red 9 with the matching shoulder stock. The pistol is in good/original condition, and the stock is in good condition except for it's connection to the pistol. It snaps into the slot, but there's a lot of movement from side to side. My question is, is this a common problem with original stocks, or is mine just worn out? Is it possible to fix this problem without compromising the original parts? I'm also worried I paid too much for my pistol. Have c96 prices gone up in recent years?
