I was wrong over ten years

cirelaw · 09-23-2012, 04:16 PM

For the last ten year I was under the belief thay my 1920 luger carbine was 9mm. I had it confirmed by mentor George Anderson that it was the 7.65 mm and it shouldn't affect the value. Thanks for your patience.......

Thank You, it was a happy surprise! I love them all especially the friends I met! For some reason wives don't share the excitement! Best of all are friendships made and continue to be made ever lasting ...................

Some day when I trust my disability I would love to try!! Do they all fire the same! The only difference I surmise is barrel length, sites and calibre. I would love to hear from one who put a carbine to use!! How accurate are they? More then the artillery? I'm getting the trigger itch!!!!

What was the proper ammunition for use in a carbine 7.65! This I found in my assorted ammo drawer? Was there ammunition specically used for the different ie 1908 commercial, 1908 navy and 1917 artillery?

Normally the ammo for the carbine had a blackened case and bronzed colored bullet and was loaded to extra power. The box and bullets looked like this. Sorry but this box with ammo was sold a couple of years ago. It won't hurt to shoot lower powered ammo in your carbine but it may not move the breechblock back enough to eject the case.

Best,

Charlie

According 'Land Of Bourchardt' our ammo was issued for the earlier lugers. He has a brilliant article on early luger ammunition! He states our commercial ammunition was only available from 1900 to 1906 Long before the 1920 carbine was even conceived! Thanks for your insight! Eric Ps Great photography!

Old 7.65mm Boxes, none are for the carbine but are of the era. I have some more around here that say not for Luger carbines but misplaced them.

Steve good for you. The rarest are the early DWM. Every or occasionally you find them on gunbroker. By fair the most rare and thus valuable are the DWM 1917. Ive looked for navy round for years."Land Of Borchardt' has them all including the covetted Navy! Eric
