Is there a subtle difference in DWM & Mauser Grip Screws?

Luke · 10-03-2001, 03:22 PM

I tried 3 different Mauser grip screws, removed from Mauser Lugers, in 3 different DWM Lugers. The screws were the same length and appeared to be the same size, but they would only screw into the DWM frame about 1/2 to 1 turn before binding. This was consistent with all of them.

I had the same experience with some repro screws. They would NOT screw into the DWM frame, but they fit the Mauser just fine.

Oh, well.

Thanks for your imputs.
