With help of Tom, resolved one problem

4v magazine spring on early Mauser C96 is not easy to come. Tom told me that he had it.

Installed correct 4v spring today. Please note, 4v spring's total length is shorter, but the arms of the v is longer than common 5v spring. This is a hard to come part. Only one collector told me that he had a spare one in the past few years, unfortunately, he did not want to sell it.

Thank you, Tom!

Congrats! Thanks to Tom your search has ended!

So you going to look for something a little easier to find this time? Like the Holy Grail? Montezuma treasure? Bigfoot?
Let us know!

The flat head extractor on this gun was wrong too. Should be an early round head one. But that's mission impossible to find a spare correct extractor, so I did not even search.

I'm glad you found what you were looking for, sometimes it's just a matter of a pinch of luck!
