My questions to you experienced people-- Are these types of Lugers generally good shooters?
Are there any particular problems with them?
Are replacement parts interchangeable with other Lugers?
I am told that these pistols were made in the 1970s True?
Any other information that you could share would be welcome.

Thanks for your help,

I consider my Interarms Luger a good shooter, and it goes to the range often. I have not experienced any real problems with mine, but I did clean up and polish the feed ramps before taking it to the range.

I do not know exactly how many of the "new" Luger parts will interchange with the original ones, but for sure the grips will not. The mags will, and also the mag catch/release.

These lugers were made in the late 60s and 70s.

The most sought after Interarms Lugers are the ones with the P08 grip frame( 06/73 Model). There are less of these available than the Swiss grip frame( no bump on the bottom of the front grip frame).

Both 4 and 6in barrels are available....also 9mm, and 30 Luger calibers.

The ones with all of the original equipment(box, target, 2 mags, loading and cleaning tools) are worth more than with out these items.

I hope that this info helps you out.

Thanks for the additional information. In this situation as in several others I become interested in a certain type of gun when everyone else has been for about a year! By then the prices have gone up and I am usually too late to do any good!
I will keep my eyes open and maybe get a bargain.

I searched very hard(nearly daily) for my 06/73 Mauser, and it took nearly 9 months to find the one that I wanted. I have had ZERO buyer's remorse, and have seriously considered purchasing another. Just keep your eyes open and hopefully one will slide by.
