You guys are a bad, bad influence...
Now you've got me interested in P-38's...
 I can't afford to do anything...P-38's cost too much...

See... The first fix is free, or inexpensive. Then when they get you hooked....

You could sell that long snouted P38 as a SS Gestapo assassin's pistol.
Just kidding. I like P38s also but only have two: a nice AC43 and a late model P1. The P1 is crap IMHO.Charlie |

I think I like the 1" longer barrel more...but I also got the proportions of the artillery barrel off a little...have to fix that...there, that's better...
I'm waiting for my registration at p38forums to be validated...so I can search and see what all has been done with long-barreled P-38's... I have questions in on two commercial P-38's on GB...but I think they have alloy frames, no??? Last edited by sheepherder; 04-05-2016 at 11:20 PM. |

I like that artillery P-38. I wonder how well it would shoot and the accuracy.

I thought the photos were a joke. I didn't know Martz or somebody sacrificed a P-38 and actually built one. I'd love to see photos of that sucker.

...The artillery was where I got carried away...  I'm not sure where the P-38 carbine pic is...I saved it, but I don't think I saved the thread... Here's a thread/pic of one...not the one I had in mind, though... http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=19850 Last edited by sheepherder; 04-06-2016 at 12:02 AM. |
