New christmas toy

Vlim · 12-20-2005, 05:19 PM

I just couldn't pass this one up. Finding anything remotely historical over here is a nightmare, let alone a stocked C/96 in a workable condition:

Traded in a mismatched frankenluger and this baby will be sleeping in my safe now.

The bad news: I need a breech block...

Check eBay, auction on now for these parts.

Vlim · 12-20-2005, 05:49 PM

Thanks. I'm on it.

c3006 · 12-20-2005, 11:34 PM

Try to get it off ebay if you can if not let me know I have one somewhere,somewhere being the key word. clint

You may also want to try "LugerDoc". He ruined me with this C/96. "Lugerholsterrepairer" would be someone to contact for some custom leather. Between the 2 of them, they got me suspended from my gun club for firing this pistol on the rifle range. =). Congrats on your purchase. These are really fun, accurate, weapons.

Ed, glad you said it.... I was tempted, but thought a moderator might "bleep" me.

Ron Smith · 12-21-2005, 10:25 AM

Hey Gerben, A nice one! I'm still looking for a 96 rig that I can afford.

Congratulations! Ron

Rod WMG · 12-21-2005, 08:09 PM

Man, Ron, they must really be high if YOU can't afford one!

Vlim · 01-10-2006, 05:18 PM

Well,

Finally got the thing home and it's not bad at all. It appears to be a 'pre-war commercial' variation, which has been used quite well, several small parts have been replaced. Serial number 206306, with lazy crown/U on the chamber side and a small M / Crown on the bottom of the barrel.

Bore is not bad at all, grips are pretty good for their age, so is the stock. The stock has a different number altogether, but is real.

nice one Vlim, I like them, mine is a chinese bolo, yucky, yuck.
