Broomhandle fans

[Leadeye]

Many broomhandle fans out there? For some reason this has been one type of gun I can never walk away from. Maybe it's the history or the strange appearance, or my first seeing one in the movie theater watching From Russia with Love. A collectable oddity that I still shoot, have some 30 cal, 9mm p , 9mm M and one marked 38 ACP.

If they didnt command the price that they do i would own one for sure, just because of the history.

I'd love to sell mine. Just didn't think anyone would want it for the price they bring. I figure I'd have to take it to the military show next month.

USDS has a broomhandle mouser pretty cheap right now

 

[nra4ever]

How much was the one at USDS? Cheap is relative.

I've always liked the brooms that I used to own. Come to think of it, I sold them to Leadeye.

I took a look at that when down at USDS today. It does look pretty nice and from what I can tell, seems to be priced well compared to others I've seen. I'm not familiar enough with the broomhandle mausers enough to know what type it is though. It sure does look like something that would fit my collection nicely though.

Numerous body parts I would swap for a schnellfeuer, but that's probably stretching things.

What type is it?

Nice gun, fired one back in the 80s, shoots like an early version of the M-11. Back then they were pricy, about 4K for a transferable, no idea what they bring now. Probably up in the MG-42/ Colt Thompson range.

That would be my guess.

I've had a fascination with C96's since the late 60s'. Quite amazing engineering for the time and they were involved in every conflict from the Boer War till today where they still show up in the middle east. I think their large size and small caliber kept them from being more popular with armies of the world. Sadly I only own one now. Hopefully the next gun show (Evansville Nat. Guard Armory Jan. 31-Feb.2) will cure that. Wonderful guns.
