KGP68A Manual?

Big Shrek · 09-14-2014, 04:29 PM

Does anyone still have a copy of the Owner's Manual scanned?
One of the older members who is no longer present had one he'd email...
but he's long gone...

Its not on Steve's pages, either...which is unusual...
perhaps someone could send it there

James,

Are you seeking in order to print one out to accompany a gun, or just seeking the info contained? Printed reproductions on eBay for about 6 bucks, parts list and exploded view are all over, online.

I suppose these are for the .22 or .32 cal Luger clones, but I wouldn't know, never having owned one...

It helps if you spell out what the manual is for...You never know, I or another member might have one and don't know it...

The KGP68A would be either .32 auto or .380. KGP69 is a .22lr of the same series. The earlier family of mostly cast Zamak guns was all .22lr--La-22, Ep-22 and ET-22.

I don't refer to them as clones, rather Luger-styled (on the outside) or Luger wannabes. It is the general lines and grip angle that are Luger-y, along with a toggle joint in the action--BUT the actions on all of them are pure blow-back, which does not momentarily lock the chamber (the knee-joint is never actually locked, due to their arrangement of axle center-lines.. Nor do the barrels and extensions move within the grip frames--this is why the still cast grip frame of the later ones is OK, because no particular wear happens there.

I've got the diagrams, I was hoping there was some interesting reading inside the manual itself...

I've always worried about Ebay...and I'm not real fond of buying things online...

IIRC, it is nothing particularly strange or exciting, but if it helps you sleep at night...I'll scan one of mine and post it so you can see that info. Check back in a day or two.
