Zee 0 #26 April 24, 2005 I don't normally take it down that far for a cleaning. I'm installing a new trigger and sear so I had to take it down anyway - I don't mind though. I find it strangely relaxing actually Thanks for the warning but I wasn't exactly planning on packin' the Mauser downtown anytime soon.

waltappel 1 #27 April 26, 2005 QuoteHave you ever tried field striping the mauser and putting it back together? I don't know about the nubmer of parts each had (you showed a modern 1911, not the orignial Army issue pistol), but I can tell you that the broomy was a bitch to put back together. I got a Marlin 30-30 a few years ago and shot it for the first time a few weeks ago. I don't have a manual and couldn't figure out how to disassemble it for cleaning. Anyway, you guys inspired me. I just found a website that tells how to break it down and it is ridiculously easy! Check this out--a coworker sold me the 30-30 (with an Armsport 4x32 scope) and an Ithaca Model 37, both in awesome condition, for $100! Did I mention that each came with a case? His wife was nagging him to get rid of his guns because they have kids and he knew I was into guns so he asked me if I was interested. How could I turn down a deal like that?!!!
