Never seen a real cartridge for that caliber,heck, never seen a real C96 chambered for that cartridge either!

Yep! There's pics/spec sheet posted here somewhere for it...I have the pic/spec from COTW if you'd like to read it...

Basically the 7.63 Mauser cartridge but without the bottleneck...Pretty much the same thing Luger/DWM did with the 7.65 Luger cartridge to make the 9mm Luger/Parabellum cartridge...

I bet Alvin has a C96 in 9mm Mauser 'Export' if anyone does!!!
