When i was a kid in 1963, they would not show me the guns, but I could look through the glass cabinets at the gun store.
The cheapest of all the guns were the broom handles, at $35.
In 2003 I was trying to prove load books wrong that said the strength hierarchy was; 1) CZ52, 2) Tokarev, 3) Broomhandle.
I wanted to show that it was: 1) Tokarev, 2) Broomhandle, 3) CZ52.
So I bought a 1925 broomhandle for $180 off a gunshow table to overload it.
I was in a work up with the broom handle and was almost up to where I had blown up two CZ52s, when the primers started piercing.
I never made it. No conclusion.
I looked for other C96 samples with better firing pin to firing pin hole fit, but they were getting expensive.
I never bushed the firing pin hole in the one I have.
It is 12 years later and the broomhandle has appreciated. Not as much as Amazon stock, but some.
