mauser hsc

[archie55]

I just picked up a mauser hsc and to the best of my knowledge it was manufactured in mid 1942 (serial # 791 xxx) has eagle over N made for german army (heer) what neat little gun!!! But it will take some getting used to only way to release the slide is insert a mag anybody else own a hsc that could school me on potential issues?? Thanks every body!

My mistake eagle over N is the firing proof it also has an eagle over 135 witch stand for army

Sounds nice, can you post some pics?

[archie55]

Here's a pic I'm going to the range on sunday I'll let you know how it works out

[chimera]

Mine is a .380 made in '71.
Yours in .32?
I haven't shot mine enough tio get used to the slide release.

This is the only pistol I own that I have NEVER taken completely apart (no nerve).

Yeah it's chambered in .32 aka 7.65x17 and yeah I watched some you tube videos on how to field strip it and that is almost to easy but any futher then that no thanks! I'll try the pic again

Just got back from the range I brought all 3 of my pistols the p64 the russian mak and my new/old mauser hsc. I really feel the p64 was the most accurate maybe cuz I have owned it the longest and shot it the most?? I had zero issues with the p64 and the mak but the hsc jammed about 4-5 out of 50 rounds plus after the last shot it leaves the slide open like its supposed to do but when I pull the empty magizine the slide closes it that normal? I thought the only way to close the slide on a hsc is INSERT a empty or full magazine? I must keep in mind it is a 70 year old gun!

I have both the 7.65 x 17 (Wehrmacht issue around 1940) and the 9 x 17, one of the last made by Walther post war (around 1973 and not the Gamba version). All Mausers that I have (a 1910 and a 1914) lock open when the mag is empty and then the usual way to close the slide is to insert a loaded mag. Applies to the 6.35 x 17, the two 7.65 x17 and the 9 x 17. One other Mauser that I have is somewhat similar (the C96 from early 1900s), but since this uses a stripper clip to load into a fixed 10 round mag, it stays open and then when you close, the top round is stripped off as occurs in a regular semi-auto. No problem in taking the HScs apart, just make certain that they are unloaded as you have to cock the hammer to start. DaveN

So the slide is not suppose close when I remove an empty mag right? And btw did the picture show up because somebody mentioned It didn't show up earlier.
