Gruss Gott,Kinder!
I was reading through these posts and decided to do some checking of my own.I have 4 stainless Lugers,all made by Aimco.However,there are variations in the basic pistol which, although slight, make a difference in the area of compatability.Aimco has made the Luger base pistol under names other than their own,as I know many,if not all,of you well know.I have two 1993 "Mitchell Arms" stainless models.I did only have one,but this past weekend I got its twin brother.They are serial #'s 8021 & 8022, even though they were purcased some 2 plus years apart.Same dealer!He just misplaced one of them. Pardon my digression!The relavent point of this rambling is that the mags from the "Mitchell" will fit both my 1917 Erfurt and my 1936 Mauser.The mags from both of these pistols will also fit the "Mitchell",as well as they are compatible to each other. I just got a 2000 model Aimco a month or so back.It shoots great,but the magazines are a problem.They are not interchangable with either the "Mitchell" pistols or the originals. The new Aimco's are a breed in and to themselves.This one I got does shoot very well given ammo which it likes.I don't have to feel guilty about shooting it!But I think one more or less has to go with "house parts".Therefore they aren't much good for reinforcing an old friend who has suffered some age related frailty. Sorry about writing a book,but this is one of the very few areas that I do have some limited experience.I'm hoping all of you will take pity on this poor novice and continue providing your valuable insights so that one day I will gain a better understanding of how these beautiful works of art(even the repro's) really function and what one must do to keep them happy and healthy! I stand before you as a sponge!THANKS ALL! Tschuss! Mark M. |
