Gentlemen, could you tell me what this is? It looks original but you can never tell.

Rick,

Neither. It's a put together parts gun, with a cut down rifle barrel fitted to it.

...of which the basis is an old DWM Bulgarian contract luger.

"...of which the basis is an old DWM Bulgarian contract luger."

But just the upper, the frame has the stock lug and lanyard staple so it wouldn't be Bulgarian. My guess at any rate.

I have had some contacts with this dealer...IMHO, you would be best served taking your business elsewhere...

Just curious,what kind of a rifle barrel would have been used on this luger?

I am not aware of any rifle that is chambered for 9mm,would it have been rebored?

It looks kinda cool,wonder if it works?

Bob

PS I detail stripped and reassembled my first P08 yesterday!
The recoil spring reinstall was, shall we say, challenging.

Thanks to everybody for the all the great info on this forum!
