Finish P08

I have 3. One is good. Other 2 are very good. AIM seems honest because that is how they list them - good to very good. I'm not a % guy and don't understand how anyone can tell the difference between 90 to 98% so I won't even try.

They are rearsenalled and are mismatched. Two are numbered in the commerical style. Other is numbered in the military style. I assume that is because that is what the base guns were. Barrels look new or like new.

The two with wood grips both are chipped by the safety. The plastic grips (are these Finnish replacements?) are perfect.

I'm told these have Finnish mags but I don't know how I would tell them from another. Only other Luger I have is a 1920 commercial I got from one of the fine members here and the mag in it isn't a whole lot different from the ones in the Finnish lugers.

I like the balance the longer Tikka 9mm barrel gives (over my shorter 7.62 1920 commercial's.) I like the stock lug too although I believe that affixing a stock would violate NFA.

In a post I found here, they indicated a few letter ranges these should be in but one of mine is a Q, which is not listed. I don't know if that really means anything.

After a few years of lurking I finally contributed to a post!
