The American Rifleman article on the 1980 Mauser Carbine notes that the 1902 DWM Carbine has an auxiliary recoil spring mounted in the forearm, and a lug on the bottom of the barrel which engages the spring. This is no doubt due to the special, higher-powered .30 rounds produced for these guns in order to move the greater mass of the works with the long barrel.

In test firing the Mauser Carbine, they noted that most American ammunition (1n 1980) was too puny to feed reliably. The only ammunition they found which would consistently operate the Carbine was Berdan-primed, surplus Czech ammo, and Canadian military ammunition.
