C96 bolt repair

Have not decided what to do yet. Sent to gunsmith yesterday. But he's off, only a few sales there. Will get a quote next week to decide what to do.

I bet if you put a For Sale ad in this forum you could recoup your loss. Since it's a C96 it's C&R eligible and you could ship it direct.

I would imagine there are several members here who would be interested.

Yes. Incredibly, I received a few PMs on it. People love this.

Also, posted two more C96s on auctionarms.com. If have interest, welcome to view. Those are "standard guns" that you can use to judge other C96s of same variation on the market. Or, use them as reference for restoration.

Talked to a collector over the phone a few days ago. He loves these, but he's new on collecting and could not tell what's original and what's not. He told me that many Chinese collectors are interested in these C96 stuffs.... I was surprised... I sold a few dozen of these, you're the only guy who can speak Mandarin so far.. People will settle down, pay off their houses,,, takes time, but that's just a time issue. The future is obviously bright.
