Why is my favorite gun stovepiping and won’t this risk crushing the primer and shooting me in the face?
Do I need to start wearing an Eeeee helmet?
Why is my favorite gun stovepiping and wont this risk crushing the primer and shooting me in the face?
Why is it ejecting live rounds?
I would bet it has something to do with you having jury rigged the magazine into something that only kinda works, based on the Mauser having fricking tape on it.
It works! It’s just there’s some volume loss at the plate at the bottom so it pops open if I rapid fire
That wasn’t a problem before because it was stuck with rust and gunk but cleaning the gun means it no longer holds tight enough. How would tape even make it stove pipe?
It was the last round in the mag and instead of chambering it just flew out in a threatening position
That's an interrupter issue, not anything with extraction/ejection
Probably just a weak mag spring. Try and find a repro one.
Any Mauser C96 is about 100 years old by now.
First check (or have an gunsmith/expert check the gun is technically ok). Check that all the springs are good (new ones are awailable), this can save the gun from breakage and shooter from bodily injury! Use only cartridges with low velocity/mild load, because standard and especially high velocity loads can cause the slide to break and fly backwards towards the shooter! Slide in shooters face was acvery common injury in the 2WW time due to shooting 7.62 or 9mm cartridges loded for machine pistol / smg use.
Anyway these are old historic guns!
>it’s the c96 twink again
What are you fricking up this week and getting threatened with rape by anons for?
My gun threatened me with facialrape by aiming a live round at my head https://i.4cdn.org/k/1686770154816638m.jpg
>interrupter
I’m moronic, can you explain more? I haven’t been doing guns that long.
Already did, the barrel and internal chamber and crown are all in great shape. I replaced the bolt stop and spring. Cleaning the machinery with acetone-mineral oil fixed some jamming issues but now something like this happens every 20 rounds
Also I might need to replace my magazine plate since it pops open after being cleaned
The interrupter is the thing that keeps the rounds in the mag of a fixed mag gun.
I can’t find any info on it esp on C96, how can I tell what it is and can it be swapped out?
There is no "interrupter" on a C96 Mauser
Rounds are held in place by the feed lips machined into the underside of the upper/bbl extension. Most likely weak springs causing the issue
>Most likely weak springs causing the issue
This, it's guaranteed this is the issue. With any old handgun, if you're going to shoot it replace any spring you can. For the C96, those the leaf springs (magazine spring, extractor, occasionally sear spring) and coil springs (mainspring, recoil spring). A couple of spare firing pins are also ideal.
Are you that moron with the Nagant fetish and the horribly refinished, clapped out M30? Stop buying shit and you won't get shit performance.
> horribly refinished
It’s in its original finish, patches of the salt blue in what would be expected for an M30 are still intact. Most of it has worn and browned but not refinished. Not so good at appraising for a trip.
>shit
The barrel and crown are fine, so is the chamber. Which is why it’s still accurate. What would not be shit by your book? A pitted barrel?
Damn you're right I misremembered the finish thing and didn't bother opening the pic on my phone, guess I'll just not pass on my experience of owning and shooting broomhandles for two decades and tell you which century-old, hand-fitted component needs mending. Enjoy the stovepipes, the extractor *really* won't like it though so I hope you've got spares. :^
He deserves it.
>"hey tripgay, your appraisal is totally wrong"
>haha well I didn't even look, also guess you're not getting any more of my really valuable info!
christ this board is dead
Been dead for a while, get dunked on nerd.
Blam pop
>Not refinished
>Blued bolt
I'm fricking laughing holy shit. How much did you pay for this abortion?
This board deserves nothing but obliteration, I'm only here to watch it burn and laugh at the flames.
Why are you giving him shit? He didn't do anything wrong that I can see apart from not automatically knowing stuff.
>blued
You’ve got more money than brains
It’s browned,
From age
Same as part of the internal bolt. Browned surfaces are still original.
>how much
1700, in 2023, and it came with a good barrel and original components so why b***h. That’s probably NRA VG which good luck on getting something nicer on the cheap
>It’s browned, from age
But that is not browning, that is glossy, even black and that elevation slide is sussy as shit. Look how the front of the bolt has actual patina while the rear is a completely different shade, not even showing hammer wear in the gif. C96s do not age their finish like that.
It’s indoor lighting with a phone vid
I’ll take a close up when I get back home but it’s just browned with a similar consistency to
all over
Got to say that looks way too deep and dark to just be patina that looks more like an aged blue job
What part?
The back of the bolt and the hammer. If
is anything to go by and they were just white unfinished steel it seems weird that yours would get discolored that deeply just by age which is why I think it was blued a while back
It had significant surface rust and red scales when I first got it. Is like this now after cleaning with oil and cloths nonstop
You paid $1700 for that?
Have you seen how much they’re going for RN? Anyways, it was mechanically fine, had a good barrel and internals and after oiling it off it turned out a lot of the original salt blue finish still remained. So it really wasn’t bad considering what they’re going for rn
It’s a hundred year old gun that spent time in china, it’s the best I could hope for
> I'll just not pass on my experience of owning and shooting broomhandles for two decades and tell you which century-old, hand-fitted component needs mending. Enjoy the stovepipes, the extractor *really* won't like it though so I hope you've got spares. :^
Anyways please tell me, I’m sorry I talked back.
Do it for the gun, they aren’t making anymore broom-handles and this one still works so what do you gain by making it breakdown quicker, depriving future collectors of yet another gun? At the rate they’re going only rich people will be able to do this hobby 20 years from now.
I seriously don’t know what I did to piss you off that bad
You would be better off going to any other website for actual information, where you don't have to grovel on your knees for a worthwhile response. Also:
>At the rate they’re going only rich people will be able to do this hobby 20 years from now.
Older shooters and milsurp people can be some of the most fricking miserable bitter crab bucket homosexuals alive. Your on PrepHole too, so its that multiplied by people here already being miserable bitter homosexuals. Again just go to any other site for real info. And don't be a fricking moron and admit (along with pictures of your firearms) that have a serious self harm problem. That's a fantastic way for you to get red flag lawed even if this is an anonymous website.
>flexing on new guys without sharing any knowledge
If OP is the twink in question then they don't deserve help but a bullet to the back of the head
Why?
Particularly moronic and annoying gay who avatarposts and thought boiling patina would restore bluing, that's why
I asked before doing it because I care about the gun and it’s history
And I stopped after realizing it was a bad idea. Would you rather I not ask till I get an answer and then boil it so when you buy it it’s fricked?
It's a pretty simple question that can be answered on any search engine.
Which is a ton of boomers talking about how good it worked on their old colt detective
Google logic says to boil
Yeah, rust bluing. Rust bluing is not restoring original bluing. Holy frick.
Well they all say it saved their gun and made it look better so googling tells you to boil
Yeah to perform this technique called "rust bluing" which is entirely different than salt bluing. It is a quite effective method at removing salt bluing too.
I’m just saying I had legitimate reasons to ask if they were right
Not really, no.
you're a stupid judgmental c**t.
>see new word
>assume it means the same as other word
>don't do your own independent analysis
Not really, no.
Kek why is the revolver facing you and not pointed downrange?
its unchambered and empty
Most intelligent indoor range goer lmfao
moron. Kys
>tfw you remember when msd used to post somewhat helpful stuff
>tfw you've been here 10 years
Someone at least tell me if a center fire live bullet stovepipe is dangerous?
How would anything hit the primer with enough force to detonate?
Idk, maybe the bolt closes on it just right? It can happen to rim fire. Are stove pipe discharges much less likely with CF?
Unless you're hammering the bolt closed on rimfire it's not detonating.
>cf
As likely as the sun to fall out of orbit of the Earth.
