Why doesn't anybody make reproductions of the C96 or Luger? People clearly want them, so why doesn't some company cash in on this demand? I'm sure the most popular answer to this is gonna be "a reproduction has no history", and that's a valid criticism of the idea, but I also think it's kinda a moot point. I can't speak for other people but I personally would love to be able to own a C96 for an affordable price. And it would give the nerdiest of nerds in the gun community the perfect platform to build their live-firing DL-44 blasters on.
I might very well be in the minority but I'd love to hear oher people's takes.
TL;DR: Mauser/Luger reproductions, good idea or bad idea?
