| Who owns a Chinese broomhandle? I am looking at buying one, any wisdom, anything to stay away from? Anything at all regarding any type of Broomhandles would be good to hear about. |
| www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=44&t=1390&w=searchPopHannah_Reitsch knows all about this stuff, but I think she just moved from CO to TX and might be busy getting things set up in TX, but if/when she gets a chance to get active here again she knows this stuff cold-maybe you can e-mail her. I ended up not getting the Mauser I was looking at but it is on my must have list. |

Hi Articbear, By and large, I’d stay away from C96’s made in the PRC; their quality was questionable save for those produced by the Hanyang, Shansei, Taku Naval Docyard. Here are some C96 related URLs you might find of interest: [Mauser C96 Site] www.northwest-denture.com/mauser1896/index.htm [Mauser C96 a.k.a.
