It has the long barrel and detachable stock (in place of the standard pistol grip) of the C96 carbine. The most obvious feature, however, is the telescopic sight mounted on the piece. This was not installed by the Mauser factory, but was added around the time the carbine was originally purchase. The scope and mounts are of the same vintage as the gun (right around 1900).<\/p>\n<p>The scope mount is a quick-detachable claw style typical of German sporting arms, and it fits the C96 carbine quite well. The eye relief and scope height both fit nicely with the stock position, and I expect this would be a very nice and comfortable piece to shoot.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, this reflects the same type of use we see today with pistol-caliber carbines and low-power compact optics. People assume that tactical is a new thing, but it really isn;t &#8211; they just did it more stylishly a hundred years ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related:<br \/>\n20-Shot C96 Broomhandle: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4vkU3CIPdMk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4vkU3CIPdMk<\/a><br \/>\nLuger 1902 Carbine: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_fJwN0Vq7gM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_fJwN0Vq7gM<\/a><br \/>\nMauser 712 Schnellfeuer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JqfpxqIK8VY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JqfpxqIK8VY<\/a><br \/>\nMauser Showdown at the Range: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wW2p9gkmHxM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wW2p9gkmHxM<\/a><br \/>\nMannlicher 1901 Carbine: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-ceYoYSvJLM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-ceYoYSvJLM<\/a><br \/>\nMannlicher 1901\/04 Carbine: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qv5wAvPYKTo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qv5wAvPYKTo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sold for $51,750.
