C96 "malfunctions"

marshombre · 07-22-2016, 07:17 PM

I have an annoying problem with my Mauser. A few months ago I bought a M1930 from another forum member. While firing the pistol it tends to disassemble itself during recoil. I thought the first time this occurred my hand somehow bumped the takedown latch and caused the problem. I installed all new Wolff springs and switched my grip but it happened again my last range session. Has anybody here ever had this happen with their broomhandle? I'm guessing that the combination hammer pivot pin/ sear/ takedown spring is weak and is the culprit. Any thoughts? MR
