I don't know if this guy knows the difference between chrome and nickel but if you have a chromed P08 and want a complete chromed artillery upper, here is your chance! :D

1915 DWM, fine-tune sights F&R.

German Luger P08 9mm complete upper, barrel, bolt, extractor, toggle etc

This is technically, if not legally a firearm. I'm surprised Ebay hasn't pulled it yet.

Doug, I agree with you completely, this IS a firearm, as it is completely capable of discharging a cartridge with only what you see in the photo...but the ebay censors don't know that... Even the BATFE considers the lower frame as the serialized component of a Luger, and not the upper assembly.

I think the lower frame of a Luger should be considered nothing more than a "holder" for the upper "firearm" component. Similar to the Ruger Mark I .22 caliber automatics... this auction will probably run its course unless an observant subject matter expert person such as yourself blows the whistle to ebay.

Guys,
you are both correct, but it does not matter.

BATFE decides what is and isn't; you certainly can't tell them what to do!
Logical or not- somewhat akin to tilting at windmills.

John, please, please please, don't confuse the average person! :order:

It is NOT a firearm! The BATF already says what is and what is not. :rolleyes:

A lead pipe and nail can be made into a shotgun - please don't confuse our average reader that this SHOULD be declared a firearm. It is not.

Ed, our member readers are ANYTHING but "average" :)

Discussing common sense and the BATFE in the same sentence is an exercise in futility...
