G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for sharing Ripp.

You can kinda see, how these people new what they wanted to achieve....... but that they didn't quite have it yet.
Some great pistols there but like any new thing, the evolution of this design, needed something from Out of the Blue/Left Field, to get things headed in the right direction.

Doh!

Much like John Thompson's insistence on the 'Blish device' as the inspiration for and foundation of what became the Thompson Submachine Gun. As time would show (M1 and M1A1 TSMG), the design could be (and was) simplified to eliminate the 'lock' and its machined channels entirely, along with the bolt's internals, felt oiler... .

its a licence problem?
can you buy a semi auto rifle in 7,63 Mauser?
just take a Mauser carbine were the the stock is fixed, there are some gunmaker making new mauser carbines and it would be easy for them to fix the stock permanently.

this firm https://www.fineguns.de/mauser-c96-karabiner make first class work , building new carbine's, the action use the M 1932 "Schnellfeuer" magazine





make nice Parabellum carbines too

you can buy an original too but they can be expensive sometimes https://www.hermann-historica.de/de/orig...che_um/l/144715
this one here sold for 28000 euro and some value will go if you welding the stock to the action

What was the first semi auto pistol you would actually carry in a possible gun fight?

Gee, does it have to be a semi automatic?

G'Day Fella's,

Here's a M1896 for sale; https://www.usedguns.com.au/Product.aspx?p=118570

Also, in the current edition of Handloader magazine (#312), there's an article on the 7.63 Mauser cartridge in the M96.

Avagreatweekendeh!

Damnation. And in 7.65 AND the wooden holster as well. Ffff me dead. Anyone want to lend me some money?!!!

What does the price sound like? When I last saw one it was considerably less. But I don't know what its condition was, I think it was 9mm and probably without the holster.

As I am still "handgunless" it would be funny if the first was a C1896 ... imagine turning up to a indoor handgun shoot with the C1896. Would mean a wait of another year till the first proper one could be acquitred.

My friend, in the logic of our Soviet Australia Stasi authorities, adding a stock to a semi auto handgun makes it a rifle and a terrifying evil murderous illegal semi auto centrefire rifle at that. Only professionals of extreme need could have such a deadly "rifle". (Maybe collectors as well. ) Saw a story about Soviet Australia Stasi concerns about criminals adding stocks to semi-auto handguns to convert them to evil illegal rifles.

As for the C1896, the wooden holster would strictly ONLY be a wooden holster.

don't misunderstand
the carbine for sale here is not an original, its a replica made by using an old DWM 08 pistol with a new long barrel.
that's because it looks so untouched.

Wagner will mkae you another one on special order for 2310 euro but the leather bag coming with this auction will probably cost 200 -300 euro alone
