Or you can get a poor man's 712. It's already hardly manageable when you are expecting it. Imagine if it comes as a surprise.

What is it? I have never heard this. From collecting point of view, I don't need to buy any C96 anymore. Current collection fits me well. But still buy and sell to generate some activity. Of course, if it's a very special one, I will consider.

What is it? I have never heard this variation... well, from collecting point of view, I don't need to buy any C96 anymore. Still missing many rare variations, but current collection fits me well (I can only put so much into hobby anyway). But I still buy and sell some duplicates from time to time to generate some activity. Most transactions nowadays are towards this direction.

New love is FN 1900. This is an interesting pistol too. And price is still low.

Alvin,
a poor man's 712, is any broomhandle that has a problem that makes or allows it to fire "full auto"! As you know this will get you in trouble with the Feds as surely as a real one!
