C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: My 1st C96 a Bolo

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
What caliber is it?
You will definitely want to replace the hammer and recoil spring before a trip to the range (the hammer spring plays a large roll in keeping the slide locked). Wolf gun springs has what you need.
I will check out your channel and look for the Bolo in action.

Cheers!

Andy

I just picked up a C96 BOLO. It is rough! But it is what a poor Special Education teacher can afford. Almost all matching accept the pin in the back should be a photo.

Love to hear what people can learn me up about it. I have a small YouTube channel (@theBucketShallNotBeInfringed).

1976, most probably.

You have a .32 caliber/7.65 mm Mauser pocket model, A.K.A. 1914 WWI era variation. It was most likely used in WWI by the German Imperial army. The SS markings are fake. Most likely done to boost value. They in fact detract from collectable value. It could be worth around $400. Regards,

Agree.

Model 1910 Pistol / Jamming Issues

I managed to spend some time at the range on the weekend and went through a 50 cnt box of ammo.

I experienced several jams, and they appeared to fall into two categories.

Not feeding correctly when inserting the magazine due to cartridge misalignment
Not feeding correctly when inserting the magazine due to binding

I believe the cartridge misalignment issue may be related to the upper lip of the magazine, and I believe the other feeding issue was caused by the slide binding.

I believe loading 8 rounds instead of 9 might help with the misalignment issue, and the binding issue seemed to only happen after I got more than half way through the box. I think there might have just been a bit more carbon buildup causing more friction in the action than there should be.

I've given the slide a good clean, and although it was smooth before, it seems to move a little more freely than it did before. Perhaps that's all it takes.

Are there any tips on exactly tuning the lips on the magazine? Maybe some critical dimensions? I'm not sure how much of a possibility obtaining a replacement would be, especially given the recent moves by the Canadian government.
