It may be even less change then 45 GAP.

Less mods on the frame.

Problem is i got breach block for 45 GAP cut as well as barrels.

And i got nothing for 40.

If i will be making other calibers , I think i like 357 Sig better

I agree. 125gr .357 SIG out of 8" arty barrel or carbine would have serious bite. You would have plenty of penetration from a 4" barrel with a JHP.

Pictures to add to the 'carbine build'? Or better yet, can I drop by the house and pick up my carbine?

I think putting on the pressure for a quick delivery is not a wise thing to do.

Hi,

I'd vote for a .40 S&W myself.

I have seen several posts on this forum and others concerning Eugene's lack of response and delays... he takes forever to complete a project is a common concern. Two months ago I received from Eugene my restored Broomhandle Mauser C96-M30 after waiting over 5 months and sending several unanswered emails. I was stunned with the pristine quality of the restoration... It was absolutely amazing from finish to function, including a beautiful shoulder stock. It was the equivalent to walking out of the Mauser factory in 1930 and opening the box of my brand new Broomhandle. Every aspect of the restoration was of very high quality, and carefully done. Every serial number and proofmark was crisp and clear. All edges and contours perfectly matched the photos of a totally original and pristine C96 that is worth north of $8K. It also shoots as good as it looks... knocking down an 8" steel plate at 35 ft with no problem... repeatedly. In short, Eugene's skill and artistry are worth the wait. Be patient... you won't be sorry when you get the final restoration.

That's quick service!

Eugene must have put everything else on 'hold' until your Mauser was completed!

How about starting a new thread and post lots of pics???

Cannot agree with herder more on this. Please post pictures, so we can get a comprehensive view.

Yes...Quite!...

Actually, my request was directed at George [gtpooleltc], as he is more likely to point out any flaws, imperfections, or miscommunications in your work...

...Not that anyone on this Forum doubts your integrity...It's just good business sense to highlight the attractive features...

alvin · 03-09-2014, 08:13 AM

It's not easy to restore C96, for two reasons that I can think of. (1) This type of gun has quite a few surfacial complexities, milling panels and slots, crisp edges, markings etc. (2) The 'base' is important, and majority of them came from tough environment lacking that 'normal restorable base shape'. And, combined with corrosive ammo, replaced parts, etc etc, it must take considerable amount of effort to restore those correctly. Of course, there is another important constraint -- the prevailing price of original. To restore a gun, the cost must be controlled within certain percentage of nice original minus the cost of the base. This profession is not easy.

A friend of mine can work metal and wood like you wouldn't believe. I will keep his name out of it for now, but I have been to his house and he can do almost anything!

Well, another friend told him how I was having this Carbine built over the last 13 months by Eugene and so he said, I can make him a cleaning rod that would go with that!

So, in the following pictures, realize that the barrel, the rod, the end of brass and the cutting is all done by hand and is solid and beautiful! Now I just need a carbine to use it with

lugerholsterrepair · 03-12-2014, 02:31 PM

Yup! It's a beauty! Had to be a little longer than a normal Luger Carbine rod since Eugene's barrels are 16 inches? Not 12 like an 02.

This answers the age old question..which came first? The Carbine or the rod?

Jerry, I think only you and I, and maybe a couple of others are old enough to know the age old questions!

cirelaw · 03-12-2014, 02:45 PM

I think it depends on whose rod your comparing!! ~~Eric

sheepherder · 03-25-2014, 08:41 AM

I agree, that is an attractive cleaning rod!

I would be proud to display an accessory like that on its own display stand. Maybe with a small brass plate stating what it is...
