Now here's something interesting....
I work at an Army Surplus store, and we frequently order in Ring's "Blue Guns" for fitting of holsters. I had noticed recently that they offered a C96, and I thought why not order one to use for a DL-44 build?
it arrived today:
First, I was surprised that it arrived painted, and not "blue". not that it matters, since it will be repainted anyway.
But then I thought "it seems kind of small...especially the grip."
So I laid it next to a real C96:
I guess it's right after all.
Now I'll need to get cracking finding all of the greeblies and sundries i'll need to complete the conversion.
Any suggestions? Are there folks who offer a complete kit to mod a C96? Or is it best to do it bit by bit?
