....my Mauser Parabellum, model 06/73 (or rather 06/72 and a half) is finally up and running again.
For those who don't remember:
I purchased this pistol last year with a busted barrel. Previous owner had done some reloading experiments and managed to get two round stuck in the barrel, deforming it (bulge) beyond repair.
As I happened to know the guy who bought the Mauser parts and leftovers when Mauser quit producing the Parabellum, I sent him a message and he was able to dig up a perfectly correct, new in the white, uninstalled 15cm 7.65mm barrel.
A German gunsmith friend placed the barrel, had it testfired in Cologne / Koeln and reblued the upper cannon. The Koln test resulted in an extra Eagle-N proof on the left side of the receiver.
Can't wait to take it to the range and test it myself.
