...Or 'artillery Lahti'???
In my very first post here back in 2009 I posted a pic of my Lahti along with two 9mm barrels I had made for it. I just took another pic and posted below. But that is not my question...Did Lahti or even any aftermarket gunsmith make a carbine version of the Swedish M40 or Finnish M35 Lahti 9mm pistol??? ![]() I know there are several types of stocks for it; board, wood stock/holster, wood board + leather holster...Several different leather holsters... But was a forearm-equipped, 12" or longer, multi-position adjustable sight Lahti ever made??? I Google-Searched, couldn't find any pics... ![]() I think a Lahti carbine would be kind of cool...An added incentive for a Lahti carbine is the Lahti 'accelerator', which aids in cycling the action in extreme cold/dirty conditions, as well as overcoming weak powder loads... I can [probably] whip up a PhotoShop rendering of my idea of a Lahti carbine, but it would be pure fantasy...(As opposed to my artillery Nambu)... ![]() I can imagine an artillery Lahti easy enough, and it would be a familiar project for me...But a carbine...Well, that would be a challenge... The Lahti uses the same barrel thread as the Luger, but longer...The stock lug is similar, but the lock cut is placed differently...Both are close enough to be modified to fit...
