What a Mauser magazine also fits
No interchange has been recorded for this part yet. Butch Schoeller writes these notes only from parts he has handled — a blank here means nothing has been checked, not that everything fits.

No magazine for the Mauser at the moment
Almost everything here is one of a kind, so it turns over item by item rather than in runs. A wanted listing is the reliable way to hear when the right one surfaces — and it is also what tells Butch which parts are worth making next.
How the mechanism works
Plates & drawings
Original patent drawings for this mechanism, filed by the people who designed it, with every component called out and numbered. They are grouped by how the part works rather than by which arm it came off — the classification that put them here names the mechanism and says nothing about the gun.
