What is the difference between 04 & 08 Lugers

Jason,

Parts of my response may be accurate, but much is just mixed up or wrong. Norm's answer is more informative, and pertinent, I think. The generalization of "P.08 = stock lug" was incomplete enough to be misleading, so thank Mike for tightening us up. There's a rich tapestry that is Luger History, so vast that sometimes it's possible for me to upload a corrupted file from the memory banks. (or mix metaphors)
