Any help please ... Assembling Kit

Hi
I got my Mauser M712 (kit type) on Tuesday from WWII guns.com and was wondering if any one could put it togaver for me has i have had 6 tryes but o luck the best i got was bolt action.
Some parts may need replacing i can you for them any your time

Sorry it's a bit cheeky

Do you mean that replica is disassembled?

I cannot go to UK, but here is some hints ;-)

This modelgun strips almost like the original. General instructions for C96 are here:
http://www.1896mauser.com/disassembly.htm

If you need more help, please post some more information.
Do you have it in two pieces (frame/slide and internals), or more (internals disassembled, too)?

In any case - this is one of models that are quite difficult to put back together. Disassembly is fairly easy, but all parts just don't want to go back together :-/ A lot of patience and trial is required.

There are a few tricky points:
- top of internals has to be properly aligned with bottom of the slide.
- a leaf spring that goes inside the slide, near back, always tries to go in wrong place. It has to be pushed/pulled to proper location. It is not shown in instructions above, but it is in original Marushin instructions.
- piece of metal (leaf spring?) that sits on top of trigger likes to move around and block internals from being fully inserted. You need to find a way to do it correctly ;-)

Patience, patience, patience... The first time I have disassembled M712 it was fairly easy (just pull everything out). It took me more than half a day of trials to put it back together properly :-/ Even thought I knew the theory ;-)

HI
sorry about the late reply i have done it

but stripped it and then came to a problem when the selector switch is in the R point the hammer stays back but the trigger don't work. when in the selector switch is in N the hammer will not say back any idea?

Hi Jake,

When to assemble the trigger assy/lower receiver and upper receiver you might want to check that part 10 is aligned correctly with part 23

Incorrect


Correct


Hope this helps
