1917 Mauser trench carbine

This Project is definitely  interesting one. By using a combination of engineered drawings, pictures and C96 parts to measure I have been able to get a reasonable set of solid models. I started on the lower receiver but it did not take long before I realized the the fire control group holds the key to some of the interior dimensions, information  needed to allow me to draw up the lower and match it with the upper slide assembly.

These are the pictures of the different fire control groups.
