Interesting Carbine Stock on ebay
Advertised as a repro, seller does not call it a carbine stock...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWI-German-...r/273783020250 Needs some love from Jim Solomon...

A toy, hmmmm...I have a 'spare' 16" carbine upper, which I could mate to any P08 lower...
The wood looks good, the iron is a bent stamping... Airsoft or Japanese toy stock??? If no one bids on it, I may just buy it myself...

The metal is a bit soft, but it does work on a P08 (where stocks are legal).

Yep, MGC toy Luger stock. I sold one of these for about $90 a couple of years ago.
As Vlim mentions, it could be used with a real Luger as long as you don't mind having the pistol about two inches from your face while you're firing. |

Ron, you dog!!!
I bet you have that modelgun set up in plain sight, so if some snatch & run intruder breaks in he gets nothing but a well-made toy...

Hah! The seller also has the drum magazine to go with the stock...
WWI German Luger Mauser Paperweight Trench Art https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWI-German-...t/273783009176 Hard to figure out where these 'descriptions come' from...

The snail drum offered here is a toy too. It's can't fire ANY rounds. Out of a real Luger that is. From what I recall I don't think they will fit in a real Luger. Ron would know.

I don't remember if they actually "fit" a real Luger, but I do remember that they don't hold more than 10 rounds. They just LOOK like a snail drum. The "magazine" portion as I remember, only attaches to the drum portion. There is no mechanical internal connection.

I posted pics of the disassembled MGC cartridges before; they have a 'cap' (which looks suspiciously like a small pistol cartridge primer) that makes a loud bang and emits smoke & sparks. It also generates enough pressure to cycle the action.
The magazines do feed the cartridges. It is a model gun. Very realistic. There are videos on Youtube.

The MGC carbine stock sold for $187.50. No, not to me.
I expect it will show up here shortly.
