FS: C96 Broomhandle Mauser frame and upper/barrel. DROPPED to $200

Gents, please read the ENTIRE POST.

Price dropped to 200 bucks.

This C96 was a test bed for rust bluing techniques for me. Im now looking to sell it. It IS NOT intended to be assembled into a firing gun without SIGNIFICANT work. Heres some of the known issues:

1) The BBL was bored out. It is now smooth and somewhere in the 9MM range. I DO NOT think there is enough material left to sleeve.
2) The frame had a dime sized hole drilled in it on the right side just below the Mauser banner. Im convinced that someone was trying to do a 'Star Wars' 'Han Solo' conversion with this gun. I welded it up as best I could and milled it down to look somewhat acceptable. Right now it just looks like there is some rust pitting, but its really from my welding. (Look, all I own is a Hazard freight flux core welder, gimme a break ok!)
3) The stud for the metal loop on the handle has been cut away.
4) Upper and lower ARE NOT MATCHING.

Now that I have all the negatives out of the way...as you can see its got a nice refinish on it. The gun has been freshly rust blued and has a great antique look to it. WIth a few extra parts it would make a hell of a wall hanger.

Gun MUST ship to a FFL (no C&R, Im sorry, but you know its not eligible in its current state. Please dont ask me to bend the rules for you.)

Asking $200 shipped CONUS. Prefer MO or check. (Members with less than 25 posts will have checks held to clear)

If you are interested, make me an offer. I need to unload this and its going to have to go to Gunbroker soon.

Bump and a significant price drop. Its going on Funbroker after Turkey day.

I might be interested, do you think it is in good enough shape to make it a blank only shooter for reenactments?

I will take it, however I can not yet receive PM’s here. You can send me your ship to info to my email address: [email protected]

The weld job looks very good. Bummer its a Bolo frame. You believe there is no possibility to have the barrel relined/rifled again?

I still want it in any case, for $200.00.

Thanks.

I looked into BBL relining, I think someone started to bore it out (hence the approx 9mm ID) for a sleeve and just abandoned the project. I dont know If theres enough meat left to properly bore and install a liner. Ill send you an email from my home address. Happy thanksgiving!

redmans could do it.

broom closet did mine ( 7.63) and it shoots ok.

I looked into it for some time and just decided it wasn't financially feasible for me. I took the guts from this gun and built a shooter on on other frame. It kinda sucked because the gun sold here had an AMAZING finish, I was really proud of how the rust bluing came out. Anyways, the gun is sold and Im happy the new owner appreciates it for what it is.
