where to look?

ltlightbulb · 04-10-2006, 02:41 PM

I am new to the board and lugers. I have an E. German rework with a replacement barrel marked 7/53 and would like to get a more original pistol. Any suggestions where to look. There are not many gun shows in my area, so the internet will probably be my shopping mart. I am not looking for a collectible, just a good shooter.
Thank you.

Joe, welcome to the forum.

Look on the gunboard auctions, check out the trader section here (post a wanted ad), and look around.

www.auctionarms.com

www.gunbroker. com

Make sure they ahve a 3-day no firing or see if they have shot it and it works. But looking for a shooter is different than looking for a colelctable piece that won't be shot. I almsot never shoot my collectables, so for all I know they are one-**** wilbers!

You can also put your wants in the Wanted to Buy forum... some member who is upgrading his collection may have just what you wanted.
