loading tool for1906 Portugese Army M2

MFC · 09-28-2006, 01:12 AM

Hello fellow Lugerians
I'm trying to complete a rig for my 1906 Portugese Army M2 Luger. I have the correct holster, also a cleaning rod that I'm not sure is correct or not. I don't have a loading tool. Please help me with info. about stamps/styles and anything you think would be helpful. Pictures are worth 1000 words.
If anyone has a correct loading tool and possibly a cleaning rod if mine isn't correct, let me know so I can buy them at the new forum members discount
price.
Thanks, Mike C.
PS. Wonderful forum !!!

Portuguese loading tools are commercial type, unmarked.

Thanks Ron,
That makes it easier. Got one for sale?
Is the cleaning rod also commercial w/ no stamps? The one I have is stamped
KK over 10 in a circle and a 5 in a circle.

Mike, I do still have a few unmarked DWM military & commerical orig mag loading tools available @$30 each. If your Portugese marked cleaning rod, has a steel rod (vise brass) and course knurling on the oiler cap, chances are that it is one of the Portugese made copies for the 1935 GNR lugers. The M2 was originally issued with the standard DWM made commerical oiler/brass rod. TH

Mike,
The correct cleaning rod for your M2 is as Lugerdoc stated, commercial oiler/brass rod. However, your KK marked rod is authentic Portuguese, usually found with GNR Lugers, but OK with your M2 if it has a brass rod.
