Model 1910 Pistol / Re: Jamming Issues

« Last post by !tom on November 20, 2023, 01:08:47 PM »

I disassembled my Mauser further than I had ever before, including removing the magazine retainer. This got me thinking that perhaps the installed height of the magazine might affect the feeding mechanism.


Is this a tuning option? Any guidance on how high the magazine should be for optimal feeding? It looks like there might be 1/16" or so adjustment available.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: Help! Slide stucks at loading position.

I may have found the error.

I wanted to change the hammer spring and realised that something was missing or broken off.

I'll order the new one, put everything together and then test it and report back

I had some success.


I purchased a replacement set of springs. After installing them, there was minor improvement in the operation, but the biggest issue seemed to be failure to eject the casing correctly, causing jamming issues.


I removed the extractor from the slide and gave the mechanism a very thorough clean. I was able to shoot the entire first clip without any issues at all!


However, problems started to happen more and more after that. The most common issue I had at the end of a box of ammo was not having the firing pin cocked after shooting a round.


I'm going to try some different lubrication next time to see if that helps. However, the biggest issue I was having before seemed to be not ejecting properly, and that has been solved with that thorough extractor mechanism cleaning.

Need a little help. I have a Mauser HSC 32acp from Interarms with Serial 00.6648. Can you tell me when it was manufactured?

Model 71/84 Rifle / Does anyone still check this board?

Hoping to find someone who knows about these rifles.
I was cleaning out my uncle's estate and found one.
It looks to be in really nice shape, but I don't know the first thing about them or if there is a market for them.
There is a box of old .43 Mauser ammo as well.
If anyone is here, say something and I will take pics and share them.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Mauser C96

Simple question. Was the C96 ever manufactured without the slot at the rear of the handle for attaching the stock?
