Nice.

Putting even a removable buttstock on a legal centrefire s/a handgun, converts it into an deadly illegal centrefire rifle per our inane local authorities ... believe it or not ...

Nice old handgun or carbine. Probably quite revolutionary for the time.

One thing few people comment on, was WDM Bell carried a C96 s/a handgun with him into Karamoko territory. I have not refound the reference in his books to it though.
