Mauser broomhandle build update.

JOHNNY WACKO · 07-20-2011, 06:21 PM

I have been buying parts for years to make this gun.For some reason i didn't care for the long mag on the 4" bolo with the small grip.I put it on a c96 with the 6" barrel and large grip and didn't like that . So i came up with this 6" barrel on a bolo small grip frame and the 20 rd clip. It has a great feel and looks more in portion to me.
I'm thinking on a 4" c96 with the large grip next.

All ya it shoots like a dream and the rifling is real nice in that barrel i got for $50 with the bolt too at a flee market doing a rain sale.

I can't say why, exactly, but I think those are neat. May have to have one someday.

The only screw in the gun is the grip screw. What a work of art.I love these old things. I have enough parts to build 2 more.Can't stop buying parts. I have 2 with matching # witch is rare for these.

Well we thought you were in jail. It's nice to know you weren't.

Keep building those ugly little guns, Johnny and it'll keep you out of trouble. :P

Sorry to hear that life is kicking you in the teeth. But it is what it does best.

Those old Broomhandles have to be considered the "wart-hog" of hand-guns but they're so damned neat. Almost bought one at a gun show about 15 yrs ago.....the guy was asking a fortune but all S/N's matched and even had an original holster. Anyway, as BH said, glad you're not in jail and hope things settle down a bit for you Johnny. Great pics and nice work on your part.
