Well, went to the range this morning and decided to bring the mauser with me. Most of the rangemasters are probably in the late 60s to 70s in age. I pull this thing out and the first guy does a double take. Tells me he's seen them in movies, but never in person So I let him check it out, then he calls over another rangemaster. Everyone thought it was neat to see a old relic like this.
On a positive note it fires off 9mm fine. Only issue I had was after one shot, pulled the trigger and the hammer would not fall. I pulled the bolt back and pulled the trigger and everything worked like it should. I shot another 20 rounds afterwards with no issues.
I think its a been there done that with the mauser, Going to give it a thorough cleaning. (guy I got it form said he never cleaned it) and its headed for the safe for awhile. jim
