And there you are.
Hopefully this has been useful.
I purchased the Red 9 at a local gunshow, and part of the funding for that was the sale of the broken 7.63 Mauser.
I have, effectively, the complete load-out, with repros of: stripper clips, shoulder stock, holster.
The 1911 C-96 came through Century Arms back in the early 90's. It was in POOR shape, and despite the TLC I tried to give it, there's only so much you can do when the rifling is only a hint and a prayer....when fired, the bullets would hit the target side-ways at 10 meters.
Oh, and it appears to me that the Red 9 no longer has it's original sight, and instead has one from a .30 pistol, as it's supposed to be calibrated out to 500m instead of the 1000m that the .30 is.
Enjoy!

Hey i like the C 96 ! And it is always nice to see that on pre war an early war models every single part has its number. We shoot them at the BDMP and they are very accurate. We made 2 years in a row the first place with it at our championships!!
Great guns, great pics
