In regard straw, C96Ã¢??s had none. The trigger, safety, extractor, and bolt stop were fire blued but I strongly recommended that you not try and duplicate the color on these parts if the pistol is ever to be used. The fire blue is a by-product of the heat treatment process, and a correct heat treatment is critical on these parts. In that same vein, the mechanical restoration of C96Ã¢??s is even more an art form that the like restoration of Lugers. If you should be considering becoming involved in this, you might want to pack a big lunch

Best regards,

Kyrie
