Made a visit to my local merchant of death today on a totally unrelated purpose. While I was waiting to talk to the clerk, I looked in the pistol display case. Lo and behold, buried behind some Norinco stuff was the damndest thing. I checked and it looked like a Broomhandle Mauser C-96(is that the right term?). It had a brand new stock, and a 16" BARREL?
I'm no expert, but most C-96's I seen are often prohibited because the Treaty of Versailles or some damned thing limited barrel length. Does anybody have one of these or know anything about it? I'm thinking it's a cool piece of iron, and it may, nay, will distract me for weeks thinking about it!
P.S. No, I am not on drugs (at least, not anymore).
