Even if it is a C96 barrel... it is STILL UGLY!

Depends on comparing with what.... if sitting next to a Parabellum 1900, it cannot compete elegance. If sitting next to a Japanese T94, ....., I really should put a T94 next to it so this one looks prettier. Never put a 1900 next to it

I reviewed my pix. Now I see why collectors thinking the sight base being welded on. Picture #2 shows a "soft edge" at the bottom of the sight. No, it's not a problem. The problem is I applied R-Wax on the gun after I had decided to keep this rig, and a little bit wax accumlated on that edge. The sight is an integral part of the barrel and that's the Mauser way.
