Strawing question, re: 1970's Mauser re-issue

Frank H. · 06-27-2004, 07:14 PM

I picked up a 1970's Mauser re-issue (9mm, 6" barrel, Po-8 grip style), and the one thing that always just looks "off" to me on these re-issue Mausers is the straw.

The tone of the straw just doesn't look at all like the "as done earlier" Luger strawing.

Does anyone know if they did some different technique, or if they just simply didn't get it right?

I imagine the straw parts can be re-done to a good result? Anybody seen this done on one of the re-issue Mausers?

The grips are too chunky and flat sided, I just grabbed some decent looking grips off e-bay that should improve this gun, for me it will be a shooter but I just wanted to take some of the visual rough edges off of it...

Thanks in advance for all advice,

Frank H.
