pair of wwII dated .45s
not US thou.
i do have several US .45s, WWI and WWII dates, i may pictureView attachment 4035673 them up, my good junk is buried deep in the safes.
i caught this article in yahoo news but after searching, I couldnt find in what matter they plan to make them available to the public? I'd like to get my hands on one of these .45's. I sold my Ruger 1911 and regret doing so.
Speaking of German guns, I had a Deutchwerks Ortgies .25 and it was one of the cooler guns I've owned. It was a design ahead of its time, but not the easiest to take down.My favorite gun is the Parabellum P08...known as the ‘Luger.’

The top gun is a commercial Luger surplussed from WW1, chambered for 9 mm...and the bottom is a modern day blowback BB gun that is an amazingly accurate replica of the older gun.
Both guns are persnickety, and like to jam. Not for reliable self defense, but fun to shoot, anyway.
It's not like a store you walk into. Be a member of a participating gun club, qualify (range scores) then you can buy one.

and the chatter when they announced this program a couple of years ago was the starting point was to be $1000 and they would go up from there. You are not going to get a premium Singer/Ithica/Remington Rand 1911 for cheap. FWIW, I would put those monies toward a nice Les Baer or Wilson Combat.i caught this article in yahoo news but after searching, I couldnt find in what matter they plan to make them available to the public?

It's easy enough to take down, but you have to depress the firing pin in order to re-install the slidei caught this article in yahoo news but after searching, I couldnt find in what matter they plan to make them available to the public?

ya take down is good, thats more what I mean was getting the slide back on. Many have destroyed the pin (or sent it launching in the air) doing this. I just bent the spring lolIt's easy enough to take down, but you have to depress the firing pin in order to re-install the slide
I'm fairly well-versed in European pocket pistols having owned a number of them over the yearsya take down is good, thats more what I mean was getting the slide back on. Many have destroyed the pin (or sent it launching in the air) doing this. I just bent the spring lol
I think the spring in mine needs replacing. I’ve heard that there’s spring available that makes it work better with modern 9mm ammo, so I might go that route. Would mean that I had a part inside that wasn’t original...but the way I look at it, I’m already using modern magazines, new grips, and the gun’s been re-blued. I don’t have a gun in original condition, anyway. It’s a restoration.yo zoom,
my wwII russian capture luger shoots just fine, i only fire a mag thru it every so often.
rear site is small and too many moving parts to depend on it for personal protection for me.
but boy the cool factor and history makes it my favorite hand gun
I would hesitate to put anything less than a Zeiss or a Steiner on that honey. Beautiful rifle.just acquired a mannlicher-schoenauer 1903/14/30 .257 roberts...
thinking about a vortex viper bs 4-16x50.... but i can't find scope mount bases for under 300! fuckers are proud of their mill work... anyone know where i might find em cheaper?
@GreatwhiteNorth @cannabineer @HydroRed @Sir Napsalot
If that's the actual gun, I don't think I'd change a thing. I definitely wouldn't put a 50mm objective scope on it, but that's just my aesthetic sensibilitiesjust acquired a mannlicher-schoenauer 1903/14/30 .257 roberts...
