Just picked up my 1940 Luger P-08
I just picked up my 1940 Luger P-08 9mm. Everything is matching, except the magazine & grips. Bore is good & has Nazi logo stamped on the barrel, some finish wear on the surface.
Def. is nice to have C&R & COE combo (no 10 days waiting for C&R handgun ). Special thanks to zinfull that found this & PM me the ad info. Now, some shots: ________ Amara cam Last edited by t0kie; 09-19-2011 at 1:55 PM.. |

I am glad everything worked out for you. That is a nice piece of history and you can shoot it. Be sure to wear head gear as the round ejects up and straight back. I use WWB ammo and do not have many problems.

Sweet, Wolff Springs makes a kit for the P08 that helps a lot but leave the outside the way it is.
I found an E. German VOLPO set

A luger might well be the most beautiful (e-vil) pistol ever made! Kind of like the Colt Pyton in a revolver or the AK in a rifle.

Do your self a favor and do not try to replace the mag springs. There is a guy that does this type of work and has very good prices. His work is very professional. This is a job that can make a old mag new. A normal person will mess it up and lose the value of the mag. A nice mag goes for $125-150.

Thanks Jerry, I'm not gonna do that, just checking with the recoil spring.

Maybe Jerry lacks the skill? It's just a pin and I have replaced a few but then that is just me.
Or I can let him a bigger hammer, LOL. Pura Vida

Yes it is a pin. If you do an OK job the mag will work. But you can make the mag into a $50 mag or a $150 mag. Your choice. The reworked right mag lost it's collector value by a bad job.

Boy if that's the best you can do then you should pay a plumber, LOL.

I do call a plumber for somethings. I can fix most anything as long a I can cover it in paint or hide it from sight. I think my smallest hammer is a 2.5# sludge. The bad mag came with a pistol I picked up years ago. Mecgar are liked by some but I like the original mags.

I got six original magazines from SOG and replaced all the springs. MEGAR are OK but still need a stronger spring, it's the feed angle that doen't like a weak springs. Pura Vida

Mine is all matching also, except for the magazine. Be careful when you shoot yours. The firing pins get brittle and will break. Then a nice collector becomes merely a nice shooter. I have started acquiring the parts that most commonly fail so that I can replace my original parts when I take it out to shoot. If you haven't already, check out the lugerforum for some excellent info. Cheers! Last edited by jaq; 12-08-2010 at 10:18 AM.. |

Wow, we have the same 1940/42 Luger, but yours is nicer than mine (grips & finish are in better conditions).
I shot 50 rounds last weekend & got few FTF (as expected) since I just use regular American Eagle 110gr FMJ, but overall it's OK considering it's a 70 years old gun. One thing: it's so hard to load the magazine using just my thumb to hold the knob, I think I'm gonna get the tool for it. ________ Laguna Bay II Condominium Last edited by t0kie; 09-19-2011 at 1:57 PM.. |

I thought yours looked pretty nice. What's wrong with the grips? I can't really tell from the pix. The FTF problem is probably magazine related. Like earlier posters said, a mag rebuild (stronger springs) is probably a good idea if it is a recurring problem. Definitely get the tool for it. I bought one from CDNN for just a few dollars. CDNN also had a Mecgar mag that I picked up so that I could have a spare. Cheers Last edited by jaq; 12-08-2010 at 10:16 AM.. |

I just bought the tool from eBay for $12 shipped & will def. check out for spare mag. Yeah it was amazing to imagine the journey of these pistols before, and that was the reason I bought it too, "the sentimental history value"

^^That's also a nice collection of NVA/VC gear. Did you bring them back after your service there?

I brought back my boots, dog tags and field jacket and not much more. All my personnel gear was destroyed in May '68.

I like the grips on the second Luger of yours. Is it original or repro? If it's a repro, would you mind to share where did you get it?
By the way, thank you for your service! ________ Nasty9Teen Last edited by t0kie; 09-19-2011 at 1:58 PM.. |

Came on it but I'm sure they are copies because the first time I saw the the gun it had clear plastic stocks the owner wated t keep.

they make some of the best looking grips I've ever seen, for prices you really won't believe. Check out my Ballester Molina's grips in the C&R Gallery thread. Last edited by BHP FAN; 01-13-2011 at 7:45 AM.. |

Hey Tokie !!!
GREAT Gun Dude !!! A real WoWser !!! When I was a small boy, my dad had a pistol exactly like that !!! Who knows, you may have my dad's old gun !!! My Dad served at Pearl Harbor during WWII, but that is not where he picked up the gun. He picked it up after the war, when he came home to his family, at that time american thrift stores, gun shops, et all, were flooded with Japanese and German surplus items like these, they could be had for just a few dollars, way back in the day. I was about 6 or 7 I think when he picked it up, he let me hold it, showed me how to cock it, which, for a small boy was difficult to do, its cocking springs are pretty hefty and stiff. He told me, when I was old enough, he would give me that pistol for my own... Boy, I dreamed about that pistol for WEEKS after!!! Unfortunately, my dad died very suddly when I was 14, and the family was devastated by his sudden death. By the time I remembered his old promise to me, and asked my mom about that old Luger dad had, she had told me, that the family had sold off all of his gun collection, and, all of his tool and die maker tools he had. (My Dad was a master tool and die maker machinist, he had thousands and thousands of dollars invested in his machine tools) They had done this to pay off his medical bills and final expenses. Boy was I ANGRY !!! I felt I had been ROBBED of my ONE inheritance from my late Dad... I don't think I got over that for about a year or so. But it's all water under the bridge now... The reason I brought all this old stuff up was... You had mentioned something about, "The Journey the gun had traveled to get to the here and now..."... Well, here is one story, about one gun, and who knows, it may be that one... Please treasure your find, and if, by chance, you tell your son it will one day be his, write that down, let the family know, little things like that mean alot to a boy growing up. Sincerely, Elvin Warrior... aka... Dave
