What kind of Luger is this?

Tobias331 · 06-28-2010, 11:55 AM

I found a Luger at a Norwegian site. I have never seen anything like it, and was wondering if it is fake or real and what it's worth (the guy wants 390$)

He is also selling an M1 Carbine, wich looks nice. He wants 623$ for it

the Luger has a gunsmith barrel fabricated from a military rifle barrel. Strictly a shooter, but that sounds like a great price. The grips LOOK like genuine byf 41 bakelite grips that are worth almost as much at he is asking for the whole gun if they are not damaged.

I love M-1 carbines, but never understood the high value in them.

John,

They are becoming highly collectable. Many diffent makers, variations and sub variations. I collected them way back when you could get a very nice example for $250.00.

I had 16 of them, but they had to go, along with 12 Garands when we needed a down payment on our house.

Tobias,

As John stated, it's a good price for a shooter, if you live in Norway. Getting it imported will be more than it's worth.

Thanks for the answers. I think i'll buy it.

The gun is in Norway, so importing it isn't a problem.

I love showing the stamp where my Carbine was made by General Motors.

Under magnification, that grip looks...pretty bad...

Interesting idea; using the end of a rifle barrel to fab a Luger barrel...but it would prolly have to be either 30 cal or 9mm, so what rifles (with German front sight) would that be from???

Just out of curiosity, why is a Luger being in Norway not a problem???
