Seiger,

I once owned a ac 41 P.38, that would literally feed empty cases and homemade snap-caps that had no projection where the projectile would be... if I worked the action...

It would have been a perfect basis for blank or re-enactor's gun, but I sold it as part of a trade in 1975... :sigh: The bore was perfect, and it was all matching parts, but it had been reblued, so it wasn't a collector item... I got a new in the box Colt National Match .45 for it and a P-38 parts gun that I had shortened to a snub nosed barrel...sort of like a P-38K.

Wish I had both of the P-38's back... I sold the Colt in 1976 when I left the Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Gordon, GA for an overseas assignment in Italy where I couldn't take my military caliber guns.
