It was a typo.  I guess I hit "5" instead of "6".  I didn't notice it until you mentioned it.  I bought this at a local gun shop.  It was there on consignment.  The seller inherited it from his grandfather.  He had no use for it so he sold it for a very good price.

I tried to get a picture of the serial number, but it was so blurry you couldn't read it.  8628Hope this helps in whatever your doing.

I apologize for taking so long to respond.  To answer your question, yes.  Your instructions worked perfectly.  The trigger came out with no problems at all.  I have attached a couple of pictures as you requested, but I'm afraid my skills at photography are not very good.

Danke.  This is what I was looking for.

I have a Cone Hammer, Ser. #85xx.  When I purchase a new weapon I disassemble it completely to inspect it and clean it.  I have not been able to figure out how to disassemble the trigger.

The Cone Hammer trigger is not the same as the Large Ring and later models.  I know how to remove the later model trigger, but the Cone Hammer seems to elude me.

I may be wrong (I've only been collecting C96's for about 6 years), but I believe the bolt on the left is from a Cone Hammer.  The firing pin was changed to the "lug type" with the Large Ring.The bolt on the right appears to have the "lug type" firing pin with two lugs.  This is confusing because it also has the long extractor.  I thought the two lug firing pin was introduced along with the short extractor with the small ring model.

I have searched the internet to the extent of my abilities, and have not been able to find the answer I'm looking for.  How is the trigger mechanism removed from a Cone Hammer?I can see why Mauser changed the design of the trigger and firing pin on the Large Ring.  Removing the firing pin is a real pain.  Try though I may, I still haven't been able to figure out the trigger.

1914mauser.  I'm afraid my photographic skills leave a great deal to be desired.  I tried to get some decent photos with the camera I have and was not successful.The pistol has the usual Mauser markings and proof marks so I think it is a Mauser.  I also think it is probably a Chinese import.  Regardless, I'm satisfied with the pistol.  As I stated in the original message, I was just wondering if Mauser made a LRH in 9x19.  You answered that question.On a different note, I have a couple of model 1914s, and I love them.  Mine are in 7.65.  In the summer they are my preferred carry.  They fit very nicely in my pants pocket.  I know most people say 7.65 is too small for personal protection.  But to quote a line in an old movie:  If you know where to aim it, it'll stop them.

No.  Has the standard 10 magazine.  All numbers match, even the grips.  It's in the 31xxx range.The only real problem with it is some serious rust under the grips.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Large Ring Hammer in 9mm

« on: October 03, 2020, 06:35:03 PM »

Brand new to the forum, discovered it by accident.  Have been collecting Mausers for quite a few years.Recently acquired a Large Ring C96 chambered in 9x19.  I knew Mauser made the Large Ring in 9mm but I thought it was only in 9x25.  Shortly after buying the pistol I saw another Lrg. Ring in 9x19 on an online auction.My question is do I have a re bored C96, or do I have a very rare C96.  My guess is the former rather than the later.If it is re bored, whoever did it did a very good job.  I was firing 6" groups at 75 yrds with the stock.
