Bought the repro 1930 year manual, some original clips and live ammo.
My Chinese gun purse. The leather tabs pull the loaded clips up and out of the pouches! I love this holster.
TomBu
I have one in 9x19mm, gun itself is matching numbers but the stock piece is not.

Firearms = automatic upvote. Old Mausers have a certain "cool" factor to them that I love.

I hope you can feel the envy coming off of me right now. +1

A Gun post on imgur most viral!!

Better pack-a-punch that to get the boomhilda with that sick pap camo
mischivousmic
tfw somebody uses "clip" correctly on the internet

Mauser gang! I have a bolt mismatch G33/40 and It's the apple of my eye
Arthiem
Beautiful. Does it have the stock mount on the back of the handle?
donnothing10
Hide that from the democrats

@Spike762x39 i found you on imgur, nice. I'm a big fan of your gun page on facebook and its nice to see you are an imgurian as well.
Spike762x39
My man!
OldEricCool
Where did you get such a beautiful gun?
SharkoutofWata
Dead Germans. Well, a living German could sell it but that’s just more paperwork.
CompletelyUniqueUsername
Non-matching is nicer. Now you can use it without worrying about value.
IHeartKittyCats
Thank you for not hacking it up be make a Han Solo blaster
LukieDuke
Whatcha want for it?

Ah, the choice of an avid gun collector! It's a nice gun, Stranger!
atomiccheesegod
Still probably illegal in California

That's a really pretty gun
Irarelypostbutwhenidoitsucks
Proper use of "clips", proud of you.

Yes, well done!

Walther P38, C96 Mauser, or Luger P08. CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER!
Giveemtheaxe
I've got a p38 with matching serial numbers and the eagle still intact with original holster. Fully functional, it's quite the item.
skelitor120
P38 is compact but efficient. P08 is better if you can clear it's mechanism. C96 Mauser depends on if you can handle it's weight
leicanthrope
Not that I could afford any of them right now, but that's a surprisingly difficult decision.
DiracsDelta
I love this pistol. I’ve always wanted one with the optional shoulder stock.
HotCarle
I found the stock for sale once but the guy wanted waaaay more than I could afford at the time.
penguinscience101
Right! They're damn beautiful and I would love to get my hands on one.
Deadlymoocow
ive always wanted one of the beautiful carbine ones with the longer barrel and fixed stock. sadly they are quite rare.
skydivingbigfoot
That you, Eva?

Sick Red 9.
DerkatBaron
That's clearly a DL44!
AnanomalyMoose
I dont think that's a Red 9. Aren't the Red 9 9x19 with the big red 9 on the handle?
skelitor120
Red9 = 9mm version of a Mauser (and popularized, at least in my life, by Resident Evil 4) -- this is an original C96 firing 7.63x25 Mauser.
AttenuateTheNoise
WTF? Clearly has no red 9, and OP VERY clearly states it's 7.63x25...
DiracsDelta
Yeah, but resident evil 4 does not make that distinction.
fiierturret
Here we will see who are into guns and who are into games.
Prinzka
I'm both in to games and watch Forgotten Weapons.
rcgom
i love it, matching or not. hell if a reputable company built a repro today i'd want one.
zenoshogun
Do you really have that many 00 agents to deal with?
Pseudosim
I'd buy a few. Enough to make one of each: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/PASAM-01-660x418.jpg
BobHubert
Repros of this would be amazing!
mattig89ch
Same, I'd love to own one of these. Even if it was a reproduction.
OldEricCool
Exactly! There are a lot of companies making great repros of "wild west" guns, but it would be awesome if the same was true for early 20th
OldEricCool
century military weapons
Trunkmonkay
You'll never see a C96 repro. Companies have priced it out in the past, and a small run would cost over $4k a piece. A larger run would be2
Trunkmonkay
Cheaper but there's not enough interest to justify the massive investment required.
NuclearBuddha
I beg. The fuck. To differ.
Trunkmonkay
Sorry, but if the interest was there we would have seen a small but expensive run already, but we haven't and won't. Why buy a repro for1
Trunkmonkay
$4,000 when real ones are $1000-$3000 depending on the model. Makes no sense at all.
godisdeadandnoonecares
Go full Indiana Jones on their ass.

On the third movie riders of the lost ark the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword used these mausers, no-one else

No you have to get yourself a Webley.
TheLordCypher
Webley's in Last Ctusade, but I agree just because they're cool pistols.
Bhockzer
Hah, it was supposed to say, “Now you have to get yourself a Webley.” Curse these sausage fingers.
TheLordCypher
Ah, fair enough, no worries!
Redchiss
Oh that's beautiful. I'd love to have one myself someday. That or a luger P08 are my collection goals to compliment my P38
skelitor120
My dream gun is the "Trench Gun" Winchester shotgun, but upon looking around for it, I've only seen sell prices in the several-thousands..
CompletelyUniqueUsername
You can still do either one for about $800,but it looks like things are turning towards a jump in all the prices of world war 1 era stuff.
Redchiss
That's unfortunate but makes sense.
CompletelyUniqueUsername
If you narrow down to a couple models, and keep a standing gun broker search, you can get something like that or a webley under $600.
CompletelyUniqueUsername
I don't think the general bargain military surplus market is a thing any more, but right now is the golden age of cheap quality 1990s cop
Miller16of16
Forgive me, but as long as it would still shoot, I'd have to set it up like Solo's blaster....
MrFish49
Honestly some of the busted ones go cheaper then the japanese replicas and its been really tempting.
skelitor120
If you have access to a C96, keep it a C96. Solo's DL-44 is available in both nonfunctional replicas and full-metal Airsoft/BB versions
skelitor120
-- whereas a real-life C96 deserves more preservation than being turned into a sci-fi prop lol

Whaa?! this is the most perfect thing I have ever seen in my life - Thank you.
rebuildingdrizzt3000
I was waiting for someone to drop the Solo comment.
stoffelbruh
- and incur the ire of every gun collector. Solo blaster conversions actually crashed original C96 numbers. Lots of beautiful guns lost.
Radix865
Wait, I would have imagined nobody is dumb enough to use an original for that? Like some cheap reproduction maybe.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKYOOOOOOOOUUUU
Nobody makes a repro C96, and even if they did it would be far from cheap. An original would be less expensive than a remake.
mormacil
Movie used originals so for prop collectors original gun conversions are the only one that hold value.
TheVRay
You're a monster.
Miller16of16
Nothing is sacred! In truth I'd be happier with a Chinese .45 ACP, arguably just as historic and a better chassis for a "heavy blaster".
TheVRay
I'm just glad you didn't say Astra 900.
Miller16of16
Nothing is sacred, I'd mod the Astra too as long as still fired. Replace the scope guts w/laser sight. Pretty sure you do the mod w/out >

Permanently altering, drilling tapping etc. Urethane tipped set screws.

Finally don't have to cringe at someone's use of the term clips! Nice iron!
anubricwookie
You are correct on the distinction. However, in a living language this is how it changes. Eventually, clip will be the term for both
derppatrol
I recall someone giving me a hard time when I said I found some clips for my rifl. Bitch I own an M1, it's the source of the misuse.
GeekyLogger
bUt ItS a mAGazInE!
ENCHANTMEN
It's only a clip it's above ground, otherwise it's called magma
flavivsaetivs
Yeah, Enfields also use Stripper Clips so we get to say it too. :P
CantankerousCantaloupe
There's also few clip fed machine guns, most notably Japanese type 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qD9NmhMF8o
dawggunner
I hear the words “stripper clip” the way Tina Belchers heard “bumper to bumper.” It sexually excites me. I will not apologize.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Many rifles use stripper or enbloc clips.
AimlessSavant
Magazine Master Race.
AnonOmis1000
other than the Garand, what rifles used enblocs?
GuyDarras
*sad Berthier, Gewehr 1888, and Carcano noises*
isetprettygirlsonfire
They are often called Mannlicher clips bc they were used (invented for) by the Mannlicher riffle. Also the Gewehr 88 and others
isetprettygirlsonfire
that I don't remember off the top of my head.
