Range report, Finnish Luger
I took this gun out today to check for functioning
with a new breechblock from SARCO and an extractor I just received from Tom Heller. Mr Heller's service was prompt and courtous. This SA marked pistol is the one I mentioned on the board about two weeks ago with the 4 3/4" 9mm barrel. The gun is missmatched and black parkerized, due to one or more re-builds by the Finns. The original breechblock has a badly worn holdopen notch and the firing pin retainer notch is badly peened. I was pleased to be able to get a new breechblock (before I found this board). The SARCO breechblock required some light fitting, but the orginal extractor would not work with the new breechblock. I didn't want to modify it for fear of winding up with an extractor that did not work with either breechblock. The function tests were a success, five full magazines without failure. I was afraid this pistol would have to be retired, now I'm looked forward to shooting it for many more years. |
