  Review of Mauser Machine Pistol in Gun World, Feb 2001
Even when empty the Mauser was big and heavy enough to use to club a man to death in the savage hand to hand combat that often characterized nocturnal trench raids.
This combined with its high velocity and flat shooting 7.63 Mauser cartridge and ability to be used as a carbine led the Chinese to regard it as an ideal offensive pistol.
Even today, the Mauser 712 selective fire variant of the C-96 is still highly regarded in China, and as late as 1979 a modernized version of the 712 Schnellfeuer Pistole was tested by the Chinese military.

  Bill Oilke - The Mauser
Peter Paul Mauser and his brother Wilhelm created the Mauser companies that grew to be the arms giant that it was.
Peter Paul was born in Oberndorf, Germany on the Neckar River in June 1838, youngest of 13 children.

  Australian Information from Wikipedia
Mauser is the common name of a German arms manufacturer, maker of a line of bolt-action rifles from the 1870s to present.
South African Mausers were highly effective against the British during the Second Boer War; these proved deadly at long ranges, prompting the British to design their own Mauser inspired high velocity cartridge and rifle.
The Swedish Mauser was manufactured relatively unchanged from 1896 to 1943, and m/96 Rifle and M38 Carbine rifles- known as it is by collectors as "Swedish Mausers", are often sought after by military service rifle shooters and hunters.

 Mauser
Mauser is the common name of German arms manufacturer Mauser-Werke Oberndorf Waffensysteme GmbH, as well as the line of Bolt action rifles they built for the German armed forces.
Paul started work on his own designs using box magazines, but had trouble with the design and instead used a long spring-loaded tube under the barrel for several models.
Mauser also incorporated a new, third "safety" lug on the bolt body to protect the shooter in the event that one or more of the forward locking lugs failed.

 Mauser Model 98
Paul Mauser designed many classic firearms, but his Model 1898 is the unquestioned benchmark used to measure any bolt-action rifle.
Mauser offered these actions in short, standard and magnum lengths, while the receivers were designed around 14 different cartridges from 6.5x54 mm Mauser to.416 Rigby.
Paul Mauser created a truly timeless bolt-action rifle that made Oberndorf am Neckar one of the most famous addresses among the world’s firearm enthusiasts.

 Mauser Guns - Gun Collecting
Originally known as the P-7.63 or 'Feederle Pistol', it was renamed by Paul Mauser as the 'Mauser Military Pistol'.
In the absence of factory records which show when which pistol was made (or even the number of pistols made in any given year), C96 owners have attempted to determine the year that their specific pistol was produced based on serial number.
The October Revolution did not change this fondness for the C96 and the 7.63 Mauser cartridge (it is said a C96 was one of the firearms used in the murder of the Czar and the Royal Family), and both pistol and cartridge remained in general use in the early years of Communist rule.

 7 x 57 mm Mauser at AllExperts
The 7x57 Mauser, also known as the "7 mm Mauser", "7 mm Spanish Mauser", and ".275 Rigby", was developed as a military cartridge in 1893 for use by the military forces of Spain.
This took a smokeless powder centerfire cartridge with a bullet with a nominal diameter of 7 mm (0.284 in), and a case length of 57 mm, hence "7 x 57 Mauser".
The qualities of the 7 x 57 Mauser as a military round were shown in the Spanish-American War and the Second Boer War in South Africa.

Peter Paul Mauser, the genius behind these rifles, was born in Oberndorff, Neckar, in 1838.
A new and improved Mauser model was adopted by Spain as the 7x57mm Modelo Espanol 1893, which began the evolution of the Mauser rifle to become the most desired military arm for half a century.
Peter Paul Mauser died in 1914 and did not see how devastating the German Mauser was in WW I. In 1903 an improved form of 7.92x57 ammunition was introduced.

 Mauser: 1884
Motivated by the American (Spencer, Winchester) and Swiss (Vetterli) paragons, Paul Mauser converts the M/71 to a bolt action rifle by introducing a tubular magazine.

This may have played a role in the US in licensing the Mauser locking technology for their own design later on, the Springfield 1903 rifle.

 The Magnum Mauser — RETURNS! Guns Magazine - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Mauser designed his action to be the heart of a tough, foolproof battle rifle -- a firearm that could take the worst abuse of weather and war and still come up shooting.
Retained in the Roden action are some of Paul Mauser's most ingenious touches of engineering -- the "inner collar" of the front receiver ring that encircles the head of the bolt and provides the barrel seat and the extra metal behind the bolt handle that helps to stabilize the long magnum bolt.
While the original Mauser Magnum action came in variety of patterns -- including the single square bridge, double square bridge, solid left receiver wall, left receiver wall with thumb cut -- the most desirable for the custom maker was the solid left wall, double square bridge, which originally appeared around 1930.

 rec.guns FAQ: III.C.2.m.1. Broomhandle Mauser
Paul Mauser named the C96 the "Mauser Military Pistol" in the hopes that it would achieve large sales through its adoption by the Germany army or the army of one of the other major powers, but his hopes were never realized.
The 7.63 Mauser cartridge was so popular in Russia, and later in the Soviet Union, that it was adopted as their standard pistol and sub-machinegun cartridge (as the "7.62 Tokarev Pistol" cartridge, and now called the 7.62x25) in the 1930's.
Firstly, a 7.63 Mauser bore cannot be re-bored to a 7.63 Mauser - it must be re- bored to a larger bullet diameter (the 9m/m is common).

Introduced in the Mauser Model 1892 rifle, the 7 x 57mm and the later '93 Mauser rifle were adopted by the Spanish government for military use.
The effectiveness of the Spanish troops and their Mausers prompted the development of the 1903 Springfield and its.30-03 (later.30-06) cartridge by the U.S. government.

 The 9.3 x 62 Mauser
The Martini-Henrys, Sniders and 11.2mm Mausers that they replaced packed a most impressive clout on small and medium game but, they were no slouches in the recoil department, had a rainbow like trajectory and the military bullets were too soft to give the desired penetration on big- game.
The standard model '98 Mauser rifle cost only £5 (sterling) in 1905 and were renowned for their reliability.
The rifles came with acceptable sights, were superbly accurate and the earlier 7.92 (8mm Mauser) and 9x57 cartridges were easily the best of the early smokeless, small bores and, although they lacked the knockdown power needed for the largest game, had a good reputation.

Mauser Military Pistol (AKA “C96”, “Broomhandle”) FAQ by Kyrie Ellis Version 3.1.1 (14 December 2006 — rewritten by Graeme Caselton) Perusing the Internet I was surprised and a bit dismayed to find no Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document for the C96.

I intended to refer to the Mauser designed and influenced bolt-action rifles that were mass produced in Europe.
Then consider the possible influence the Gew.88 may have had on the later Mauser rifles in that It appears to have helped Paul Mauser determine the pattern of his first smokeless powder design: the M1889.
Also interesting that as early as 1911 in the ALFA catalog the Gew.1888 is referred to as a "Mauser." Thus the reference to the Gew.88 as a Mauser is of long standing and probably older still.

 Tyler's Military Site - Ramsey's Emporium
The bolt is a very simple mechanism that was refined by Paul Mauser from his, and his brothers design of the 1871/88 rifle.
When the bolt in inserted into the weapon and the bolt is turned down, these lugs lock into the receiver, so that if for some unlikely reason the rifle exploded, the bolt would not fly into your head, in turn killing you.
I myself have never seen this ever happen to a Mauser rifle, but I guess Paul Mauser wanted his uses to feel very safe while firing these Rifles, and he did a hell of a job doing it.

The Mauser was provisionally adopted at the end of 1871 pending the development of an appropriate safety.
