Re: mags
Gruss Gott,Kinder!
I was reading through these posts and
decided to do some checking of my own.I
have 4 stainless Lugers,all made by
Aimco.However,there are variations in
the basic pistol which, although slight,
make a difference in the area of compatability.Aimco has made the Luger
base pistol under names other than their
own,as I know many,if not all,of you well know.I have two 1993 "Mitchell Arms" stainless models.I did only have
one,but this past weekend I got its twin
brother.They are serial #'s 8021 & 8022,
even though they were purcased some 2
plus years apart.Same dealer!He just misplaced one of them.
Pardon my digression!The relavent
point of this rambling is that the mags
from the "Mitchell" will fit both my
1917 Erfurt and my 1936 Mauser.The mags
from both of these pistols will also fit
the "Mitchell",as well as they are
compatible to each other.
I just got a 2000 model Aimco a month
or so back.It shoots great,but the magazines are a problem.They are not
interchangable with either the "Mitchell" pistols or the originals.
The new Aimco's are a breed in and to
themselves.This one I got does shoot
very well given ammo which it likes.I
don't have to feel guilty about shooting
it!But I think one more or less has to
go with "house parts".Therefore they
aren't much good for reinforcing an old
friend who has suffered some age related
frailty.
Sorry about writing a book,but this is
one of the very few areas that I do have
some limited experience.I'm hoping all
of you will take pity on this poor novice and continue providing your
valuable insights so that one day I will
gain a better understanding of how these
beautiful works of art(even the repro's)
really function and what one must do to
keep them happy and healthy!
I stand before you as a sponge!THANKS
ALL!
Tschuss! Mark M.
