Luger Parts Advice

csboone · 10-26-2009, 06:06 PM

I am a Luger neophyte having just aquired my first Luger. It appears to be a military Mauser "42" based on the various markings. It is in rough condition to say the least. No rust, but from my initial inspection the gun is missing several parts including both grips, grip screws, the safety lever and bar, pin etc., magazine release and magazine, and trigger side plate. The action moves smoothly, and the breech and barrel appear satisfactory. Clearly not a show room piece but nevertheless I would like to restore the gun and need advice on where to acquire parts. I'm not concerned about matching numbers as that would be darn near impossible, so my assumption is any general parts would suffice. Any helpful advice would be much appreciated.

CSB, I do have all the parts that you mentioned in stock. Some parts will also be available as new repros, which would be less expensive than the original parts, but may require more fitting to function correctly. Just keep in mind, that even original parts from different periods are not necessarily interchangable, as there was a lot of hand fitting done to make a luger work properly. TH
