erma 22 conversion

jonboy 69 · 11-08-2008, 06:46 PM

i came across an erma 22 conversion today at a gun shop. i know it a post war, looks like something from the 70's maybe. it looks to be unfired and in the box with all the paperwork. i don't own a luger yet but will in time. were these kits reliable? what are they worth in this condition? do they fit all models of p08's? i saw the previous post but need more info.....
thanks, john.....
PS already did a search on gunbroker ....... nada......

Unfired, complete and in the box, at least $400. They will work in almost any 4" Luger. They do not always function reliably, but with some tinkering with the brand of ammo they can be fairly acceptable. They will not replace a target, or even a plinker, .22 pistol that was originally manufactured as a .22. Having said all that, I bought one. I intend to use it as a basis for a custom .22 Luger that hopefully I can fine tune,

thanks ron, appreciate the response. i know it's not one of the old one's but thought it might be fun when i do get a luger. sounds as if they are as reliable as the cheap erma dedicated 22 lugers. actually have one of those which functions 98% of the time. as you say, the ammo makes the difference. thanks, john .......
