Greetings/finally got my first Luger!
Hey all,
So I've lurked here for quite some time, meanwhile saving for my long desired Luger. Well, last weekend at a local gun show all the saving, research and reading have payed off and I finally have what I wanted: a mismatched Mid-to-late model German Parabellum with 4" barrel. As soon as I can post some quality pictures I will, but in the meantime...I'm so thrilled to finally have my first Luger! Totally a boyhood fantasy. Here's what I know so far about my pistol: -It's a 1937 Mauser (s42). -the blue is largely worn off -no obvious refinishing -after a complete dis-assembly and cleaning, it appears possible that all parts except the lower frame and magazine have matching numbers (even the grips)! Not super important because it was purchased as a shooter, but still! -the magazine is anachronistic (wood base as opposed to aluminum) -witness mark on the barrel to upper receiver doesn't seem to quite line up despite matching numbers between them (pictures to follow) A range trip is in order this weekend, any tips? |
