Another M1930

7.63mm.

I don't have a 8.15mm yet (rare). If it's 8.15mm, I win lottery

A few were sold in auction in the past, but out of my reach. Just need to wait someone selling their 8.15mm as a 7.63mm. Not easy to find such a seller, but who knows...

But 7.63mm is OK too. I am fancy on 7.63mm caliber. It has very flat trajectory and excellent penetration.

But do you have the Mauser 9mm "Export" variation yet???

When you get the pistol, I can load you up some cartridges [9mm Win Mag brass].

9mm Export caliber C96 is scarce. I sold one to another collector two years ago. Talked to him over the phone. He also collects guns including Mauser. He's very happy to find one.

I have 1 model 1930 that is confirmed as a 8,15mm, very late serial. I also have an mismatched pistol ( upper /lower don't match) with the upper being a Mauser Banner over chamber that is also confirmed as a 8,15mm. The chamber casts were identical. The bores are both perfect and as far as I can determine completely uniform yet a .30 cal bullet( just the bullet) will slide down the bore...
