I just privately bought a 1938 Mauser that is very clean, matched mag, great E/M holster and wonderful price... Before I bought it, I tried to field strip the gun and the TD lever was VERY stiff and I couldn't flip it. The seller wanted to use a penny (ouch) and I knew the gun was right so I bought it as-is w/o trying the "penny trick".
After some Kroil, the lever released reluctantly and I find it as expected... matched to the firing pin and grips are numbered too. It's simply a magnificent machine and is well preserved despite being stored in that Navy holster for years. My real question surrounds the TD lever being soooo stiff. Even with the sideplate off it's stiff and tighter as it goes back over the side plate. Any ideas... and thanks for any comments ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
