Dan,

For $50 you can get a reasonable holster replica to keep that stock in..

i have looked at a few of the replicas on ebay, but i keep finding a few orginals around gun shows, a bit pricey, but one day i may find the right one at a good price. has anyone fired any 7.62 x .25 rounds in a .30 mauser c96, i have heard it ok to do it, and fairly accurate and the surplus ammo is alot cheaper.

Top is my infamous 'Red 5' C96; bottom is a C96 which has been abused with 7.62 Tokarev ammunition...

Does that look OK to you???

I don't know who you heard that from, but you have found a good source of information...to ignore...
