#restoration #mauser #ww2
Gun Restoration, restoring a 1930's German Mauser C96 aka (the broomhandle). With also test firing of course like always. Hope you enjoy this video. This firearm was sent to use from a subscriber that had their basement flood thus rusting all of their firearms. I was thrilled to restore a C96.

Great work guys. It’s a shame that you couldn’t get the spent cartridges to eject, but that’s the beauty of this channel - your honesty. Not every old firearm will be able to be returned to full working condition, but the journey to restoration is just as entertaining as the result.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much, we appreciate the kind words and your support. Thanks for watching!

[@wolfgangemmerich7552]

Take care and NOTICE : If this C-96 was in use by the german army in ww2 : Some of this guns got fired with the cccp Tokarev Ammo 7,62 x 25 . You can fire the TT-33 with 7,63 x25 Mauser Ammo bud beware of firing the C-96 with 7,62 x 25 Tokarev because this cccp Ammo offer more explosiv power pressure !

[@georgebrown8312]

Great job you did restoring the Mauser firearm. Even though the markings are gone, at least you got the gun to fire. It also looks much better than before. Excellent work.

[@laurentdevaux5617]

Not only. It was also widely used in China throughout the 20's to the 50's, much more than in German hands. The gun we saw here may well be a chinese manufacturing, and it could explain the problems of extraction since the chinese-made C96 quality ranged fron excellent to very poor sometimes with some rather scary adjustments...

The temptation to turn it into a DL44 replica from a real non functioning Mauser is big but since it was a complete gun which could be saved I’m glad you restored it to its former glory and preserved a piece of history.

[@f75gunslinger]

Boy , seeing that gun all rusted up got me right in the feels ! It's always been one that ranks high on my want list ! Great cleanup and refinish work as always . My guess is that the gun won't cycle because of the rough condition of the chamber . The round fires , but with the extra space and the pressure the brass is basically pushed into every nook and cranny created by the rust , basically forming the case to the rough chamber . Not much you can do there , as the rust has already oversized the chamber . Glad to at least see it somewhat functional again ! .

I rebuilt a C96 like that one, a 1916 .30, 30 years ago, so working off old memory. It was in rougher shape than that one, some deep pitting. That one looks like a WW1 gun, or maybe an export to China, as I think the German WW2 versions (1930) were generally 9MM. It was an tough accomplshment to rebuild. Fun but touchy one to shoot, I never used a full stripper clip of ammo - guaranteed jam - always 2 or 3 rounds less. It was a pain to deep clean. I had to do a full spring change on the rebuild, if I remember right, and there was a inner linkage that liked to slip; I got good at field stripping it. If I remember correctly, the Chinese / Russian ammo was just a bit small for it, otherwise you were looking for very expensive ammo. I parted with it, went to a collector as a wall hanger, so I guess I did a reasonable rebuild job visually.

Nice restore. Did you try replacing the extractor? They are still available online. I picked up an old C-96 "frankengun" (mixed parts, mismatched serial numbers) about 10 years ago at Cabella's that needed a new extractor. The extractors are spring steel and can get fatigued and no longer grip the cartridge extraction groove properly. Can't be fixed/tuned like on 1911. Mine is a genuine Mauser, not chinese copy, with long barrel, but bad pitting on receiver, almost no blueing left. Cost me only $ 300 due to mismatched serial numbers. Need to get it reblued/refinished, only the outside is damaged, internals are pristine, barrel has been relined. Nice gun but health problems have kept me from doing the project.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you I haven't yet, thanks for the comment we appreciate it. Ya this isn't a chinese model either. Thanks for watching

[@Darkoriax17]

I’m surprised Cabela’s allowed it to even be sold to/from them with mismatched serial numbers. Though if the gun still functions properly or the parts are just aftermarket then I suppose that would waive the serial number flag.

[@OldGrayCzechWolf]

@@Darkoriax17 Parts were original Mauser C96 parts, just from different guns. Only aftermarket part is the new extractor I installed to replace worn out/weak one. Cabela's would have never function tested it, not their policy. They are strictly "caveat emptor" as far as their guns go. I found most Cabela's staff to be barely competent and generaly lacking in gun knowledge, their prices are overly inflated too in general. Stopped shopping there over a decade ago due to poor selection and excesive pricing.

I have an old C96, rust areas and pitting uneven on the surface. Rust here is too uniform. Markings might not have been there, could be a chinese knock off. Also, not sure Germans used these in WWII, they adopted 9mm by then and there would have been a "9" engraved into the grips. WWII Germany mostly used P-38 and some P-08.

How many ways can a hundred plus year old guns rust? Of course they look similar.

[@sad-hot-guy]

I don’t believe this one is fake. Look at the pitting, plus the way it rusted inside and on the handle would be pretty hard to fake

[@vinokai]

You’ll really know a restoration is fake is a) the “corrosion” has lots green, blue and bright yellow (means it’s painted on). Normally things with copper will corrode into a green colour, like bronze. B) if it’s caked up in “rust” and is practically a block, and is bright, and I mean bright, red, it’s probably been stuck in some sort of clay. Most rusting on firearms is usually just from low maintenance, like it’s been sitting in a shed for awhile. I find that if it’s severely damaged and has lots of rust pits, it’s most likely fished out of a river or lake. This channel is pretty legit. This vid by Backyard Ballistics does a good job of explaining how to spot fake “restoration” kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn2llKidmZ2Jh7csi=aN41wPRrQdYfwlDo
