Default Re: mags

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.
