1937 S/42 Drilled barrel ... why?

Freischütz · 01-29-2014, 09:20 PM

Hello - I'm a shooter, not a collector. I'd install a new barrel, replace the missing parts, and have a competent Luger gunsmith check the gun. Other parts (like springs) in the gun and magazine may need replacement.

After that go to the Shooting and Reloading section of this forum for advice on ammo selection and reloading recommendations.

You are in for a lot of fun shooting a P.08. Since you will attract attention it's important to have a reliably functioning pistol.

I am a shooter more than a collector as well, and the only real collector value is sentimental value to me anyway, so I will go ahead with a re-barrel and check up.

I had not even noticed the reloading section but will check that out! For the most part we just shoot reloads.
