As for what it's parts are:
The frame doesn't have the Mauser hump,other than that all I can add is serial# 8110i
The receiver is a 1936 #4023 with a S/42 toggle assembly. The barrel and rear sight are after market.

Ron Smith · 01-29-2007, 11:36 AM

Mine is all 1937 S/42 except the barrel and original rear sight. With numbers force matched Ser# 1004. It is deadly at 100-200 yards with a repro stock. My favorite...

MarkC · 02-14-2007, 11:41 AM

I just got around to taking a photo of my 1920 commercial in .30. This is my all time favorite shooter since I reload .30. Notice the "funky" target front sight ......

Steinar · 06-15-2007, 03:12 PM

I think this was a nice thread, so throwing in a little some more wood to keep it burning..

This has been a difficult gun to make function well, but it's a fun shooter. Hopefully I will find some better grips for it someday.

Ron Smith · 06-16-2007, 10:43 AM

Mark,

It's actually common to see these commercials with the Marbles Sheard bead front sight. I think it was a distributors marketing ploy. I have owned two with this identical sight blade.

Steinar,

Is that a functional suppressor? I wish we could own them without going to the time and expense of the paperwork, licensing and transfer fees.

My recent purchase. Refinished Russian capture mismatched BFY41.
Since I found this forum after I bought it I see now I probably paid a bit too much but I'd never owned a Luger and I wanted a shooter. It shoots well and fits in with the rest of my WWII collection.

Steinar · 06-16-2007, 12:17 PM

Ron, yes, it's a silencer made by a company called Alm. It works quite well, but wish it was a bit lighter.
There is no registration or fee to purchase silencers over here, can't see why it should be?
It has become more and more common to mount silencers on regular hunting rifles to prevent hearing injury. Also not to disturb neighbors and gain a softer recoil.

Ron Smith · 06-17-2007, 12:20 AM

Steinar,

They are considered a destructive device in the U.S. Someone might shoot someone with it. In which case, they would be much deader than if you didn't use one. Or some stupid crap like that...

Edward Tinker · 06-17-2007, 12:40 AM

I have not shot this 7.65mm Brazilian contrac yet, but will. With my larger hands, these grips feel very nice,

Rod WMG · 06-17-2007, 04:08 PM

"With my larger hands...."

Ed, do you have more than one set of hands? One larger than the other(s)?

Sorry, I just couldn't pass it up!

Edward Tinker · 06-17-2007, 04:11 PM

I "am" watching X-Men right now, does that count

It is just that with antler grips, all I have seen are very thick, so thought I'd comment on my "larger" hands. Never occured to me that Ron S or Rod would think weird thoughts

okay, that is a lie

Rod WMG · 06-17-2007, 06:39 PM

Ed, I think you should tke a page from Elmer Keith (I think it was) and use ivory with a steerhead on the right panel as a filler. And the bovine should have a ruby eye.

If you do, we want pix!

Steinar · 07-19-2007, 12:14 PM

Thought I should share a picture and brag a little of my favorite shooter.
It has a reproduction barrel and rear sight + ground down rear toggle link. So it's no coconut, but it sure is a joy to shoot with

btw. thanks for helping me out with the grips Ed

davidkachel · 07-19-2007, 02:46 PM

Steinar,
Nice grips!

Luke · 07-19-2007, 09:48 PM

Beautiful grips ! ! ! Have never seen anything like them.

Luke

Edward Tinker · 07-19-2007, 09:53 PM

I saw these on ebay, glad you scored them steinar!!

Ed

Steinar · 07-20-2007, 04:15 AM

Thanks!
I'm glad my wife wasn't sitting beside me when I was bidding on them.. it was one of those things I just had to get

They actually got me thinking of engraving the whole thing.. some discrete pattern and a fireblue finish. I don't have much fate in my skills with the dremmel, that would be more like abstract art.. so it would have to be done by a 'professional'. Probably outside my price range at the moment

KGR84 · 07-20-2007, 07:52 AM

My brother engraving glass bottle, maybe he would (could) do that, but I think it isn't a good idea

Ron Smith · 07-20-2007, 10:13 AM

Steinar,

That's the first time I have seen a double Navy property mark. The grips are beautiful. I really like the oak leaf pattern.

Ron

davidkachel · 07-20-2007, 01:58 PM

Steinar, those would look beautiful alongside those grips I sold you! <GRIN>
