I'm curious, I dunno anything about the ATF and how it works, but since the silencer part is integral, does it require two stamps (one for silencer and one for the actual gun itself?)
I'd blow a large stack on a full repro C96

One Stamp. If it were an SBR (had a barrel shorter than 16") then it would require two.

The barrel length is measured from the breech-face to the most forward fixed point of the rifle so as long as the suppressor is long enough you won't need an SBR stamp.

You wouldn't ever be able to use it with the suppressor off though.

Why bother though?
There's a huge market for C96 parts that nobody's broken ground in yet. Every single C96 shooter would buy at least one repro bolt stop to avoid wearing down their original. Currently that's a $90 part and they've all been pulled from parted-out pistols, so the part you buy may be even worse than the one you've got.
Stock hardware would sell like crazy, too. The ATF has green-lit stocks on C96s without tax stamps. I asked them last year to be sure;

to me
Mr. ----------,
Original Mauser Model 1896 semiautomatic pistols manufactured prior to 1940 with original or reproduction wooden holster/shoulder stocks have been removed from NFA controls.
Note: Reproduction shoulder stocks, must duplicate or closely approximate the originals.
Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division[/quote]
The Luftwaffe had a contract for production through 1940, but the contract wasn't filled as the German government forced Mauser to stop producing C96s and start producing P08s. Production ceased in 1937. Considering the dubiosity of German records in that time period I'm guessing they used 1940 as a catch-all date to make sure originals are protected while excluding reproductions.
Forcing Mauser to build Lugers must have been the ultimate insult. The Mauser was the better pistol. Paul would've been livid.
My C96 dates to 1914 or 1915 and has imperial navy stamps, which is unusual for a C96, since they were never general issue. A collector told me the stamps mean it must have been in the batch the navy ordered for trials. The testers were supposedly quite smitten with it and a number of officers bought them privately afterward, since it was considered too expensive for general issue. Privately owned pistols of course wouldn't have the armory stamp, so that would make mine a trials gun. Interesting piece of history.
The far left is 6.5x50 Jap, followed by 6.5 Carcano. The one on the right is .30-06. #6 is .303, so is #7 but it's a machine gun round specifically. #4 7.62x54.

new quiz for you lads. all were used in ww2.[/QUOTE]
all 556 variants
[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;49931838]all 556 variants[/QUOTE]
I dunno they all kinda look like .22's to me. You've got 22 short, 22 long, 22 shorter, 22 medium, 22 thick, etc.
Obviously those are .410s
Now I don't know too many but #6 has way too long of a neck for .303
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;49932214]no .303 in the picture[/QUOTE]
Scale reference?
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;49932214]no .303 in the picture[/QUOTE]
No I'm pretty sure #14 is .303

Well it'd be nice if you had some form of scale for them all other than having to guess and try and base it off that.
Hey I got 14 right. And 11 looks like 30-06. 5 is 54r? Doesn't quite look right.
That's right. I knew something didn't look right, just couldn't place it
well at least one of them has to be 54r. Im gonna go with 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11.
4 is 7.62x53, 6 is x54.
Any of you do any gator hunting? What do you use as your preferred boomstick? Looking to do a bit of it during the season here.
9 is 8mm Mauser, 1 is 6.5 Swedish, 10 is 7.7 Arisaka, 4 is 8x56R.
1 is going to be 6.5 carcano, 2 is probably .256 mannlicher, not sure about 3
Is #8 6.5x55 then?
Thought you guys might enjoy this,
Just recently had my 21st birthday, so my father passed down his Mossberg 500A to me that he got sometime in the early 90s before I was born, making it older than I am.

The stipulation was he handed it to me in several parts in the original box, disassembled and uncleaned, and told me "a man's gots ta know his weapon", and that I had to clean and reassemble it to earn it. Cleaning and assembling firearms is something hes had me do since a wee lad, so it was nothing new. The magazine tube, spring, and follower were all rusted to shit, so I spent a good long time cleaning those. Other than that, it was pretty worn, but considering its age I wasn't surprised. Regardless, I oiled everything up and slapped it all together. After having shot it so much since I was teeny tiny, its weird to finally own it, but I'm excited.

Czechs trying to modernize their handguns while making it look like something from the early 1900s:

That is neat looking. Too bad about the proprietary cartridge. I love me some full-size full-steel handguns.

potato photo, I forgot to post, but it also came with a 26" barrel with modified choke. My father used to use it for hunting.
