magazine release catch spring
 

Hey luger fanatics!

Since I'm new, let me first introduce myself.
I'm Lars from The Netherlands. 25 Years old.
Love relic hunting

I recently found a luger 1940 model with my metaldetector
and i''m currently busy restoring it.

However im still looking for a magazine catch spring
cant find it anywhere! Can you guys please help me??

Many thanks!

Tom Heller, (Luger Doc) should have this spring for you. He is here on trhis site.

Lars,

Sometimes items like this turn up at auction sites and sites with firearms/parts classified ads. The particular spring you need isn't that expensive from LugerDoc (and I actually bought the same item from him last summer!), but finding parts online can be satisfying and economical. For example, I just received a new front toggle for my Erma .22's today, purchased at online auction for $29.99--a saving of about $5 from Bob's Gun Parts, from whom I'd bought one a few months ago.

Patience and careful bidding usually pays off, providing you know what you're looking at, and how much it might cost if purchased elsewhere. And, in your situation, you'd need to buy from a vendor who is willing to ship parts internationally.

Will you be able to assemble a complete P.08 in the Netherlands? Other Dutch members have mentioned severe restrictions for firearms ownership there, so it made me wonder...

I'm curious to see what a battlefield relic that is restorable looks like. All the ones I have seen are rusted nearly beyond recognition.

Can you post photos?

Lars, I do have new PO8 mag catch springs available @$15 postpaid. TH
