Another Mauser

[alvin]

Postie, I believe the front sight is good, but the color of bore-stores bag mixes with foreground gun. Having said that, I will fetch the gun over the weekend to make sure.

The rubber grip panels... remember that vL&D Shallow Milled Panel LRH that I posted at the beginning of the year? That one has this grip pattern.

The panels that you posted were another pattern, I saw that pattern on a few original Flatside LRHs. I guess this particular pair being replica? the look and feel of them on picture is .... too coarse, not Mausr quality, but the general shape is close enough.

Anyway, hard rubber grip by itself had nothing to do with military.

I'm not saying it isn't, just that I've never seen square corners on both ends (the tops, of course). I haven't looked at as many as you either. Have you seen other C96/M30/Bolo front blades with both square corners??? It may just be the angle and the lighting...

I like the idea of the detachable magazine, and a 45 C96 would be a displayable novelty...Almost a collectible...I thought it was a rather low estimate for the two, and I can live with or without them...
