Re: Red 9 broomhandle
Dude I love those things. Ive got an old 7mm thats kinda rough but I kinda like it like that. However if I could get a $99 one then maybe Id build it up and maybe even make a stock
Nice gun

Re: Red 9 broomhandle
CZ2, Well Done! First you were smart picking one up when you could, then the refurb looks great.
Are those original or re-make grips? I bought a set from IMA that looked nice but they need some sanding to fit on my C96.
Who did the re-barrel? I had that guy who advertises in SGN under "The Broomcloset" and he left what seemed like a 1/2 tablespoon of grindings in the gun. Other than that it was a nice job.

Re: Red 9 broomhandle
Hi, Yes the grips are re-pop,and took a LOT of fitting to get close to acceptable.The gun came with some hand made buffalo horn or something grips,real winners! The bbl.was rebored to 9mm,not replaced.A place on the East coast did the work,Oyster Bay?
An interesting foot note,as arrived the bolt was cracked and a military proofed bolt.I had the honor to be in the same collectors club as John Breathed,co author of"System Mauser",And John sold me a correct 1930 commercial bolt for it!
This one is showing her service as well,some Chinese punch markings on the bbl.extension.I prefer items with"history".Guess collectors call it wear or"bubba" tracks.
thanks for the comments,cz2.
