OT: Broom Handle Mauser

Kyrie · 04-18-2002, 08:36 PM

Hi Steve,

He was giving you the straight scoop. In short the Soviets adopted the 7.63x25 Mauser in 1929, under the name Ã¢??7.62 Tokarev Pistol.Ã¢?Â There is no significant difference between Soviet 7.62x25 and 7.63 Mauser. I have a longer answer if anyone is interested

That said, I do not recommend firing any of the currently available 7.62x25 milsurp ammunition in a C96. I also donÃ¢??t recommend firing this ammunition in *any* firearm. From what IÃ¢??ve seen all this ammunition is badly overage and/or has been subject to poor storage, and is so degraded that is it simply unsafe to fire. The reason we are seeing it on the surplus market is the countries selling it recognize it being in too poor condition to even be used in training :-(

Best regards,

Kyrie
