Barrel manufacturers

Hello

Besides the Germans themselves what other factories/countries did manufacture replacement barrels for P08 ?

I just recently aquired a Finnish 'Tikkakoski' made 100mm barrel in 9mm caliber. It dates to WWII era, and has never been shot. (I'm planning on having this one bolted to my P08 to become a daily shooter).

Also another Finnish armoury - SAKO - has manufactured barrels for Lugers in the same time era.

I'd like to get additional info on this, pls do jump in if you know anything on this issue.

Artsi, My suggestion would be, that if your laws allow it, you might consider getting a spare receiver to install your new spare barrel and save the wear and tear on your original receiver and matching parts for the barrel exchange...

That would leave your pistol in it's original condition.

Hello John Sabato !

Your advice is sound.

My P08 does however fall out of this equation. My shooter is definately not accurate down to numbered parts, barrel+receiver and frame are put together from 3 different pistols. Some odd bits and pieces carry numbers that differ from all above combination. This means my shooter really has no true collectible value.
