Re: Mauser 1910/14 pistol

I do not know how my father acquired the pistol. It is possible he got it after the war was over, as he had neighbors and friends who were in the European theater during the conflict. My father...

Re: Mauser 1910/14 pistol

According to Wikipedia (I know it's not a trusted source), the serial numbers put the date of manufacture between 1919-1934. Could it have been an export between the two WW's?

Mauser 1910/14 pistol

Re: Ruger 10/22 cleaning question

Thanks all for your help. Just one thing...that dang barrel on this 22 is so tiny I can barely run the cleaning rod through. I am being careful so as not to damage inside. But, it is really tight.
