Could business/legal issues have played a part in it? Or were they free to chamber their product in anything they cared to? It just seems nuts to pass on the .30 Mauser especially in favor of the .30 Luger. I know the Mauser is pretty hot but the Luger design seems a lot more robust than the C96 Broomhandle so it's hard to imagine wear or stress being a show stopper.
