C96 Mauser

I would pay way too much money for a modern C96 with removable mags

I don’t care how unpractical and unergonomic it would be so don’t even bring it up

While the replica certainly looks and feels like the real thing there are a few details that are to notice. First while the slide and hammer do work, the slide will not lock. Secondly the safety is a part of the frame itself, so do no expect to be able to toggle it. And thirdly the flip sight is loo...

Here is a 1930s C96 I recently picked up. Certainly seen better days but I got a pretty good deal so I’m certainly happy enough with it. Would love to get a really nice chinese one eventually.

This is a toy!!! Not a replica, other than the trigger and hammer, there are no other moving parts I definitely expected more

They’re all pre-WW2 commercial guns, other than the Mauser C96 (which is a 1905 commercial production gun) all US made - 6 Colts, a couple S&Ws, a couple H&R .22s, and one each Iver Johnson and Savage.

A beautiful gun inspired by the space age. I love how it looks like a sci-fi blaster.

This is in my list of Top 5 Handguns to Own. Right after a Mauser C96.

So aesthetic wise, here’s my top 5:

SIG P210

M45A1

Mauser C96 w/ extended magazine

M16A1 w/ 3-Prong

P08 Luger

If I could go back in time, I’d buy up every single milsurp trash bucket at Big 5, and then wait.

Oof... not just any C96, but based off the high site ramp, conehammer and 20 round magazine a very early variation and very rare... Like others stated nothing to be saved so enjoy it for what it is.

Gimme and F2000 with a red dot, a kel tec RFB with an ACOG, a Deagle with 2x zoom, and an 8 guage pump shotgun

Edit: forgot my grail gun! Mauser C96 from Resident Evil 4

Size, weight, reliability, market familiarity.
