Who makes the best Repro C96 holster?

1909AR · 05-10-2009, 01:46 PM

I am looking for a nice holster for my C96 and I am wondering who makes the best reproduction holsters. I really want to stay away from chinese made goods if at all possible. I have looked at the holsters on CMR's website and the ones on the Pacific Canvas and Leather website as well. I just want a holster that is made out of good quality leather which is my main concern. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I got a Chinese made one at a gunshow for $20 that is fine. Has snaps and two mag pouches. Needed a lot of mink oil to bring it to life, but definitely worth the money.

Bought a chinese holster from a forum member some time ago, very pleased with the quality of the leather.

Checkpoint Charlies has the type also + some various other C96 stocks and holsters at a good price, mostly chinese reproductions.

This is one at CMR; http://www.cmrfirearms.com/shop/prod...roducts_id=190

Steinar - Who/where is Checkpoint Charlie's???

There is a guy selling C96 wood holster stocks on GB and eBay for ~$119...but they are Maple...

Also Chinese repro leather C96 holsters are on eBay for ~$45...

I have one of these wooden stocks with a fake mauser banner on it. (they sort them in "VG", "excelent" and "selected"). Since it will never be anything than else than a fake, I went for the cheapest alternative ($150). It's a bit crude made and can not be misstaken for the real thing, but it works.
(Come to think of it, the original ones are not that nicely made eighter)

Not bad looking...Thanks!

Now I just need to find out which B-Square bolt-on 1" scope base works with a Mauser M24/30 carbine and I can mount a scope on it, too!

...But no silencer...
