Title: new Mauser 1914 owner
Post by: German Llama on April 20, 2013, 12:55:43 PM
I recently traded for a 1914 in pretty tough shape. None of the springs were close to correct and the weapon barely cycled. After finding a new spring set and some major cleaning - she runs like new. it is a fabulous little .25ACP with no finish. It will stay on my desk unless it goes to the range.

The .25 caliber pocket models are usually refered to as 1910s. Yours would be referred to as a 1910/14 standard post WWI model. Regards,

I am here to learn all that I can - Thank you.
I am now the proud owner of a 1910/14.

Where did you get the replacement spring set?

I got the springs from Wolff springs (  http://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto%20Pistols/MAUSER/1910%20%26%201934/cID1/mID40/dID170 ). None of the springs were even close to spec's when I got the pistol and if barely worked. Wolff was about 3 weeks in shipping and the Mauser runs great now. The old springs are in the photo. I need to shoot a new "family photo".
