General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: Buffalo Bill’s Amberg Model 71? For real?

Thank you for your comment. I’m not looking to sell it. Just trying to determine if it was in fact owned by Bill. I’ll shoot it and enjoy. Maybe one day I’ll find the truth about this gun. If I can take a deer with it I’ll be tickled.

So no one has anything of interest to comment on this M71? I would think someone here might have so knowledge on this rifle. Any thoughts welcome.

As is usual for me, I placed a bid on this weeks ago because I thought it looked interesting, but fully expected the bids to go much higher. Then I get a notice I won.
I’ll leave it up to you guys to explain to me if I had a stroke of fortune, or just a stroke for buying this thing.

Ive found several sources selling the 15 round hsc supercat mags and gun. Late production 2004 and after. Same magazine as mind. Has a slide stop activater that is part of follower that protrudes on the side of mag when empty. It lifts the slide stop. Side activated instead of by the rear lever.

Ive discovered mine is a late issue mauser HSc supercat with 15 round magazine. Spare mags seem unobtainium. Please let me know if any are available. Someone realy boogered this one up trying to deactivate the mag safety.

I see where that central lever was ground down on my pistol. Apparently so it would not be activated by the magazine.


My pistol is a Renato Gamba HSc Super 380. It seems i need a different magazine than yours. How does your mag release? Where is the catch located?
Any idea where to locate another Gamba magazine for my pistol?

My pistol will fire without magazine in place. Can I see pictures of your mag. My mag does not have a shiny flat follower. It has the left side mag button release behind the trigger, left side. I think somebody bubba’d My magazine so it would work. Its a double stack follower, black plastic and crudely shaped with a file or Dremel to fit mag. It seems to work though. Does this pistol suppose to lock open on empty?

Does the central pivoting lever in your picture have a plunger and spring actuating it or just a spring? The diagram shows a plunger. I am still at a loss what the circular shape is that is missing from the right side under the grip panel that fits under the silver leaf spring.


Can you point out which item on the schematic you believe this missing part to be? Thanks.

Thank you for the schematic. Yes I have studied this oneclosely@ numrich.com That can’t seem to identify what these parts are that are missing on my gun from the picture. Any idea if the spring in my picture underneath the center slide start has a plunger missing?
