Firing a c 96 mauser 7.65

Mauser's manual claimed factory tested one 1930 by fast firing 2200 rounds without cleaning, no issues. Another gun fired 11000 rounds without loss of accuracy or obvious wear.

I have not fired that many rounds in range. But I tried a few small ring hammer C96s in range, including prewar commercial, red 9, and 1930. All of them worked fine. Surprisingly, a 1930 and a 1914 commercial were even more reliable than my 1967 Interarms P1.

I keep suggesting people acquiring one of those nice small ring hammer for shooting fun. It's not fragile at all.
