Portuguese M2 Shooter purchase

Big Fish · 02-11-2019, 07:48 PM

A few days back I purchased a Portuguese M2, finding ammo was challenging but got a box of Fiocchi and PPU.
The pistol and holster look really nice, it has been reblued and barrel has been replaced with a Portuguese barrel.
Came with 4 magazines 1 original?, 1 WWII, 2 new Mec Gar along with cleaning rod(incorrect) and grips(incorrect).
Original wood grips are cracked on the right panel, possible to repair but more probable a replacement choice.
The xtra new grips that came along with it are not cut for the grip safety so they may not be usable.
Holster is black and marked AE and is in very nice condition.

Yes this is a shooter as least for me. It would not cycle the Fiocchi but ran well with 25 rounds of the PPU.
Best 5 round group at 50ft or 17mtrs was about 3 inches fired standing with one hand.
So that's the good looks like it'll need a few more $$ put into it to make it a better, more reliable, and safer shooter.
Lugerman's shop is about a mile down the road so I had Eugene take a look at it and get his recommendations.

All in all I'm happy with my 110 year old pistol. I get some photos soon for all to enjoy.
Frankly I could not have made the deal without having all the info available here at the forum.
Cheers, Bill
