I posted this on another forum and rather than type it out again here's a copy and paste.
Last night a friend showed me his mauser pistol. He'd like to shoot it but couldn't find ammo. Hmmm, the 3 old rounds he had looked like 25acp so I went home and did a quick search. Yep, it's the 25acp.
It was given to him by a widow who's now departed and who knows when it was last fired. It's a strange little pistol to me, what looks like a slide release is the safety and only inserting the magazine releases the slide. I watched a video and stripping it is pretty simple.
I didn't examine it closely but I couldn't see any rifling at the muzzle. A thorough cleaning is on the agenda for Monday as well as using my loupe to look for cracks. I haven't done it for years but I love getting the old ones up and running again.
My best and oldest friend Al has prostate cancer. He’s decided not to do anything about it. I couldn’t convince him to get treatment but I’m not going to stop trying!
