C96 adventure

The other thing to mention is DO NOT USE hot ammo. I only use American ammo that has a light load like American Eagle. The other thing I did to be able to shoot the original C96 was to replace all numbered parts so if they break no problem.

Hello to all! So far, no good with any of the methods mentioned? This thing will not let the barrel extension come off!

I'm going to clamp it in a vice and see if i can't get a better stability for prying as in the article? But so far, no cigar... It rattles back and forth about 3/8's of an inch, but then stops, and it's out of battery about the same... Not sure if i'm going to beat this one or not?... Best to all, til....lat'r....GT.....

I'm pretty sure it will eventually work out, just doesn't seem that way right now! I tried initially, with way too light of prybar... making another one this morning and with the help of my trust bench vice, we will attack again!

The internet shows nothing on this and just seeing it work would be moral encouragement! More soon! Best to all, til.....lat'r.....GT...
