This is where you really see the beefyness of the receiver, WOW, that's a lot of metal and they tell me it is a ***** cat to shoot because of the weight! Luger weighs in at 31+- ounces and the Lahti around 44 comparable to a large frame magnum revolver, quite a difference. Neat gun, they were also made in Sweden by the Huskvarna plant. AXIS PISTOLS by Still shows the Finnish Army carrying this pistol in WWII as the L-35. ~Thor~
