Crates full of P08s

When was the last time you saw crates full of Lugers. They are all destined to be melt. Bunch of P38, MG42 & P08.

I'll bid on an unopened box...…….

Curly1 · 01-28-2019, 11:57 AM

Wow they are still out there.

Hopefully someone sees this and offers x dollars for a few dozen boxes....

A number of experts previously expressed fears that the German weapons used might allegedly carry historical value. However, the Ministry of Defense noted that this is not the case. As the spokesman, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, said in the construction of small arms, ammunition, some elements of armored vehicles and artillery installations will be used. Techniques and weapons of historical value will not be used

Now we know what "real" RC weapons look like.

I don't think we need to worry that they will be "allowed" into the US; saving our luger(and P 38 and MG 42) market from a precipitous price drops!

They could bring in hard cash on the European deactivation market.

let alone the black market - when I was in Berlin, the Russians were just leaving - rumor was, you could buy just about anything

Sergio Natali · 01-29-2019, 09:09 AM

I would think that they must realize how much cash they could have if only they put at least some of those guns on the civil market in Europe and in the States.

I really hope they won't destroy them!

The Tokarevs are the old original military style right? With no safety? Don’t they have to have a safety to meet the ATF import requirements these days?

Lugers and P38s would sure meet the rules tho.

they have previously been added when the importer got them (I do not know for sure, but either before importation or right after)

Those TT-33s are not in the US. That was a picture of one of several dumpsters full of new TT-33s waiting to be destroyed.

MW2152 · 01-30-2019, 12:16 PM

Yep, thanks!

My point was that they could not currently be imported in that configuration anyway

Understood :-)

My point was all those TT-33s were in dumpsters on the way to be destroyed (just like the Lugers, P.38s, ect. in the original post).

They cannot be imported into the US because they no longer exist :-(

Don't exist? Really? Maybe?
Well, except for the ones that "fell off the truck".

I thought we (USA) were no longer importing military weapons, parts kits only?

I realize that bringing these Lugers into the US would lower some prices, but I just hate to see them destroyed. There goes some more history.
People already don't know what it means.
