Story of the Broomhandle Mauser Part II, by Orin Hatch
PART II of The Story of the Broomhandle Mauser by my father, Orin B. Hatch, Jr.
I had to have something to take accurate dimensions from and was finally able to buy a slide assembly from a company. The slide was internally okay but was pitted too badly to be used. This cost me $45.00. I found that most of the parts for the gun were made from SAE 1035 steel. I bought a piece of steel with comparable machining characteristics. This cost $55.00. I had no milling machine and this was a necessity so I figured out how to use the lathe to mill the part but I needed accessories to go on the lathe. I took some adult education classes at a local high school so I could use their machine tools. There were also some costs involved for this.
This ultimately became pretty complicated and expensive. Of course, this happened over a period of several years but I was determined to go ahead and finish the gun. Otherwise, I would have been left with a bunch of meaningless parts.
One day while talking to a friend I explained to him the problems I was having, and he recommended I write to a particular company he had purchased a slide assembly from. I sent a letter to that company and their reply was that they had one. The cost was $45.00. I immediately ordered it and a few days later I received the slide. It was in very good condition and the rifling was excellent. While examing the part, I noticed something was odd about it. The barrell didn't look right. I got a pair of calipers and measured the bore and to my surprise the slide assembly was already 9mm., which meant I had to do nothing to it. I continued to look for the missing parts: the magazine floor plate, the magazine follower and follower spring. I acquired the floor plate but the follower and follower spring were impossible to get. I bought some parts that were remanufactured but not quite right. However, the gun was functional. It took me about 2 months of work to finish the gun so I could shoot it.
In my last post I had just trashed the barrell and slide assembly of my 'M96 Mauser because I was in a hurry and wasn't paying attention (it never pays to be in a hurry when performing an intricate machine operation as I learned the hard way). Because of what I had done, the slide assembly was twisted so badly it was impossible to straighten - and believe me, I tried. At this point, I began writing letters to companies that handled used gun parts, hoping I might find another servicable slide assembly. After searching for a year, I realized that there was a possibility that this was not going to happen. I started doing research on the Mauser.

Story of the Broomhandle Mauser Part 1 By Orin Hatch
My Father, Orin B. Hatch, Jr. wanted to share a firearms story that he felt was valuable. His story is as follows :
PART I
This is my experience with the 1896 Mauser, better known as the Broomhandle Mauser. My love affair with the BH Mauser goes back more than 45 years.
My first contact with this gun was in California at a war surplus store. I was In the Marine Corp at the time and while on liberty, liked to poke around in pawn shops and other odd places. In looking at the gun the first time, I thought they were quite ugly and ungainly. I paid no further attention to them. Several years later I had a pair of Luger pistols and was getting into long range shooting with hand guns. One of the Lugers was a 1917 artillery Luger. These were issued to the German army during the lst world war. The Lugers are fine looking automatic pistols, but because of their design and close tolerances, they are prone to jam. The artillery Luger has tangent sights like a rifle and can be fitted with a shoulder stock. I liked to shoot them but I didn't like the problems with feeding and function so I decided to find another gun that had the same capabilities without the problems. I spent over a year doing research and the only gun that met my requirements was the 1896 Mauser. At that time I knew very little about the guns. This was about 1974. I looked around and discovered that these hand guns were quite rare. Not being able to afford one, I put my ideas on the shelf.
A few years later on going through an issue of the Shotgun news, I found an article saying these guns were available. The article stated they were in poor condition with some parts missing and the cost was $150.00. I decided to sell my artillery Luger and sent for the Mauser. Upon receipt of the Mauser, I began gathering information and learning all I could about these guns. I purchased books and literature and read every article I could find. The gun needed to be rebarreled and it was several years before I could afford the equipment (primarily a lathe) to fit the barrel to the gun. The Broomhandle Mauser has several small, intricate parts and everything in the gun was manufactured from forgings. The Mauser Works spared no expense in the manufacture of these guns. All of the parts are hand fit and many hours of bench work are involved. The barrel and barrel extension, or slide, is manufactured from one forging. The barrel of my gun was completely shot out which required either reboring and rifling, or fitting a barrel to the slide. I decided that with my limited funds and equipment it would be easier to fit a new barrel. I studied the problem and made drawings and made the necessary tooling to do the work I intended to do. I obtained a barrel blank and machined it to the new configuration. I cut the barrel off and machined the end of the slide to receive the new barrel. I fit the barrel to the slide and was doing the final machine work. I was in a hurry because of other obligations that evening. In making the final tapering cut on the barrell, I made a bad mistake: I ran the carriage on the lathe with the cutting tool towards the head stock which I normally did not do. The cutting tool caught the slide and both slide and barrell were totally destroyed.
Please stay tuned for Part II to find out what happened next.. Make sure you check back with us !

M1A SOCOM ii
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the spec's of the rifle I was shooting in the video. The rifle itself is a Springfield Socom ii in a Vltor mod stock. I ended up using a Burris pistol scope to get the proper eye relief being that the top rail did not extend all the way back. It ended up giving it the Scout look. The scope itself is 2-7x32 with a ballistic plex which works great for quick hold over at ranges beyond 100 yards. The mount that holds the scope is a Burris P.E.P.R. mount, which is a little pricy, but worth the money. The sling is Eagle Industries tas-3, three point tac sling. The whole set up is a good set up for me. I find that it shoots 168gr bullets the best, but then again, it seems any rifle in 308 shooting 168gr shoots pretty damn good anyway. So those are the spec's on that rifle.
