Just to explain the last guys reply on why would we want to own one? Well given the chance we would all like to own a live luger but over the last 30yrs the uk has become a country of over reaction just a couple of shootings here and all live firearms are to be banned
You can't even go to a gun club in the uk today and fire historic weapons such as mg42 mg34s or Lugers and yes the great British government that over reacted and banned handguns now has more live guns on the streets in the hands of gangs and bad guys than ever

But I am happy to collect Lugers that I can only display rather than not at all count yourself lucky that you can have a live one and take into the back yard and fire a few rounds off

Good luck with your collecting Ross.
You’re in the right place to ask questions. I understand the forum is for collectors. I’ve used the reams of research held & tapped the collective knowledge of members many times.

If you’ve a desire to shoot one or two - I’ve the odd one or two left behind by the Germans. If you should wish to cross from the big island to our little Island – you are most welcome to shoot one. The MG34 may need some prior notice!

I have known German deacts to be carried out in this manner. The receiver is ground slightly so as to give a thinner section to tack weld after cross drilling into the chamber. UK deactivated are not normally visible without stripping.
Collectors around the world have no problem putting an all matching rig in a safe never to be fired for fear of breaking a numbered part.........Why make an issue of someone who will do the same thing with a deact because they don’t have a choice. I think it displays a profound appreciation of the firearm.
As a holder of an Australian FL, I can say the previous statement regarding the confiscation of all firearms in Australia is untrue. Whilst the regulations are tight, most firearms are legal to own provided you have a clean background and a reasonable cause. All pistols below 50 cal are legal. Firing a pistol outside a designated range is illegal. Ownership of any semi –auto rifle/shotgun, and all full auto rifles are illegal.
Regards,
Shane.
