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...

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 !

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 ! .

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.

@@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.

A wonderful job! It must be so satisfying to take things that need help & make them new again...😊 I imagine you are very busy, but may I suggest a follow-up video where you have made the final tweaks & repairs & test fire it again?

Roughening of the chamber combined with roughening of the action surfaces is likely why the cases won't extract. Rough chamber wall holds the case in place (similar effect to chamber ring delayed blowback) and rough action surfaces won't allow the slide to move back far enough under recoil to unlock the bolt. Still a nice mantle piece though.

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.

The Mauser 7.63 x 25mm cartridge was known for high velocity and flat trajectory. But its full metal jacket bullet reputedly lacked stopping power unless it struck bone. This was no deterrent to the Soviets who created a 7.62 x 25mm version of the Mauser cartridge. Supposedly both are interchangeable but don't quote me on this and I wouldn't attempt it for safety reasons. The Soviet 7.62 x 25mm cartridge version of the Mauser 7.63 went on to find use in millions of Soviet Ppsh-41 and Ppsh-43 submachine guns as well as millions of Tokarev semi-automatic pistols. In 1992 an acquaintance of mine purchased a surplus Tokarev pistol in very good condition. He also showed me a box of 7.62 x 25mm ammunition. The bullet and the cartridge brass were the same coppery color.

Excellent work ,,, seems that there is a lot of temperature variation where you are from. I recall you shooting a 45ACP in the snow not that long ago Does not snow down here, but it can get somewhat hot,, although of late we have not had a hot Summer just a lot of rain.
