Broomhandle Refurb
I'm looking for a proven and competent source for a Broomhandle
Mauser refurb (reblue, replace worn and broken parts, resleeve barrel). I was going to have Mentor in Ohio do it but they're no longer at the phone number in their literature and I assume they've ceased business. Does anyone know of any other good C96 resurrection men? Links, phone #'s, etc. would be much appreciated. |

Shotgun news used to have somebody advertising in the gunsmithing section that specialized in the refurbishing of the Mauser Broomhandles. As I remember there prices were downright reasonable for all the work they would do, never saw anything they did though. The book pistolsmithing I think by Gary Mitchel has a chapter devoted to refinishing the Broomhandle, you might get the book and try it yourself if you were so inclined.
