New Guy with First Luger
Hello!
My residence is out of state so had it shipped back to Ohio. Its a 1940 dated code 42 mauser. It should be here by the end of the week and appears to be a bit rough, but all matching externally other than the mag. Will post pics ASAP and thanks for letting me join! I wanted a shooter so that was my goal. will have more once it gets here https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...-1--184996.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...-2--184997.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...-3--184998.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...-4--184999.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...der-185000.JPG second mag second mag https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...500-185002.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...600-185003.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...010-185004.JPG |
The grips have either been crudely re checkered or are replacements.

Looks like a good shooter Luger and project gun. Have fun and let the learning begin!

I have some Vopo grips I can put on it for fun. I'm a budding DDR collector as well. I just bought my first Trabant as well. |
A breakdown with a good inspection and cleaning will likely have it looking better....also a good lubing while down. It looks like it can be a good shooter for you. Let us know how things go at the range when time allows. Congrats on your first Luger.

I apologize that I can't find it but is there a FAQ or reference for magazine identification? I would like to find more info on both of my mags
|
Did you try the search feature?
There are many threads on mags, and nearly every thread with a luger has info on mags. Sometimes you just have to dig and read a lot of posts to learn. One of your mags is obviously a Haenel mag, and has the Haenel "H" or and "x" on the base, I can't quite decide from the picture. Clear, close and well focused pictures of the mags would get you more info. |
well everyone I finally had some evening time.
Took it apart and took some pics. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...1/1-190449.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...1/3-190451.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...1/5-190452.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...1/6-190453.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFile...1/7-190454.JPG |

it looks like everything matches except for the grips and the mags. The mag release spring is broken so that explains the dropped mag release in the pic
|
Wolff Springs has replacement springs for P.08s or you can probably get what you need from Lugerdoc; he has parts and does repair work.
Get that bad boy lubed and assembled and the go shoot it like you hate it! :thumbup: |

the milled haneal mag doesnt fit will |
Keeping everything matching would have no effect on value in this case. Another firing pin is a good idea as a maintenance issue, but breaking the original will not affect value.

I definitely want to change the grips. |
Sounds like you are on the road to learning about your Luger, and getting it range ready. Stick with normal velocity FMJ ammo when you get ready to take it to the range.

I replaced the mag release leaf spring, trigger bar leaf spring, trigger spring, and firing pin spring.
The action spring seems really strong so I havent replaced that or any of the other springs in the wolff kit. When the trigger resets it is catching on something. I put the original firing pin back in it and its smoother during cocking the striker but the trigger is definitely catching on something. I think its in the side plate? All the parts match. |
