Stainless Steel Lugers

alvin · 10-11-2009, 12:48 PM

Heard two stories regarding parts interexchangability. The first one was printed on a Gun Digest book, the writer said "yes", and showed a few pictures with an old gun with Mitchell side plates, trigger etc. The second ... I forgot the source, said "no", because Mitchell used English size toolset in manufacturing and German ones used Metrics.

Edit: Also, the book article writer insisted that Mitchell was more accurate in range. But, he also admitted that he had never shot a collector German Parabellum. I would think comparing a brand new Mitchell with a mismatched old Luger in fair condition was a little bit unfair and misleading.
