Interesting Carbine Stock on ebay

sheepherder · 03-30-2019, 04:47 PM

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...

It's a toy.

Looks more a carbine stock! Not Artillery~

sheepherder · 03-30-2019, 05:45 PM

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...

Ron Wood · 03-30-2019, 06:30 PM

Japanese

Vlim · 03-30-2019, 06:58 PM

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

rolandtg · 03-30-2019, 07:29 PM

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.

Hah! The seller also has the drum magazine to go with the stock...

Hard to figure out where these 'descriptions come' from...

Im pretty sure ebay has issues with mags over ten rounds. Jim

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.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know, I have never handled one. I have heard that they won't fit but I don't know first hand.

What purpose is there for a toy snail drum?? What will they think of next? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Airsoft-WE-...IAAOSwuAVcdgcq

John Sabato · 04-01-2019, 02:32 PM

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.
