10" Barrel byf 41

[Dwight Gruber]

I picked up this Luger at the Portland gun show last weekend. It is way out of my collecting interest, but the price was right--well, it was OK--an I was too intrigued to pass it up.

It is a byf 41, all matching, in not too bad of condition except for a tragically removed stock lug and the addition of a 10-1/4" barrel in .30 Luger and a Marbles front sight. My guess is that it is a rifle barrel, there is no clue except for a T and a C stamped on the barrel shoulder; my guess is that these are a gunsmith's marks.It is really quite a professional-looking job.



The grips did not come on the gun, but they seemed much more apropriate than originals. They are very nicely made, but have no maker identification.

I haven't shot this Luger yet, I took it to the range only to discover that I didn't have any .30 ammunition with me <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> I'll post a shooting report soon.
