Very nice, do you know the history and do you shoot it much?Also can you share more pictures? I'm curious to see up close the difference between your pistol and a regular C96, especially the rear of the barrel extension and bolt stop area.


Thanks!

Post by: Imperial Arms on May 24, 2021, 01:05:33 PM

Hello Henry,
What is the capacity of the magazine (which is not shown), a 10-rd or 20-rd magazine?
Do you have this item in Europe? Congratulations on this Schnellfeuer in caliber 9 mm.
Cheers,Albert B.Malta (EU)

Henry, I did not know that Mauser made Schnellfeuers in 9mm. Thank you for posting this. I recently acquired a Schnellfeuer stock that came with a "Storch?" harness, ram rod and a 10 round magazine. I bought it mainly to acquire the holster. I would love to learn more about Schnellfeuers. As I recall you have more than one. Could I encourage you to share your knowledge of them? Regards, Burgess

i have a bunch of 20 round mags made for the TU711 they are 9mm also have a bunch of original 7.65 . i made one 30 rounder iout of two 20 rounders,went to the emergency room working on it almost lost the end of my thumb on a table saw. think i have just one 10 rounder. the upper for my schnell is 9mm its on atf books as a 7.65 but its the frame that has the serial number not the upper. i bought the upper on line for a couple grand ,holster and upper complete 9mm sent it off to be rebored to 9mm and the gun smith sent it back and said it was already 9mm and pointed out it was a ss. deaths head stamped into bottom of barrel he also said the gun was not a rebore but original 9mm. i only have the one schnell but 13 red nines, i also have a 7.65 that was mentioned in c96 Mauser broom handle ,it was given to a English pilot during ww1 for downing his first German flyer
