"so it has been relegated to lap duty while watching war movies."

I thought I was the only guy that does that

I always try to match the lap gun to the period being portrayed in the movie!

I can confirm Alvin's views on C96 accuracy(not that he needs it).

I got my first C96 years ago,one of my first "collector guns".
The bore looked pitted when I bought it,but the nice seller told me it would clean up great. When I it got home,the more I scrubbed it the worse it got. After cleaning it looked like a sewer pipe.

The functioning has alway been great with no issues,but when shooting that gun,the safest place to be was in front of it! A few years ago I sent it to Redmonds Relining in Redmond WA. He did a great job and now it is very accurate.
This is the same gun I learned that .30 Tokerev is NOT the same as .30 Mauser.
