Blue tarps. I saw a better resolution photo that clearly showed them. Trying to hide the FU. -E-

P8 A1 with a correct German Luftwaffe shoulder holster.

Well, as of this morning, it has an accessory holster to go with it!! A genuine German Luftwaffe shoulder holster designed for the P8-A1. Definitely not a quick draw type holster. The pistol is fully secured inside the holster by both Velcro and a button snap.

Picked it up today and got it home. Oregon "Instant Check" is a joke. Fortunately, many independent dealers now honor the three-day release allowed by law instead of waiting for the state to get around to running the background check. Interesting pistol. Essentially a USP except that with the...

Anyone know what these were retailing for when they were imported? -E-

Well......now I own one as well. Paid $675 which I think was a good price. It has both magazines, hard case, and paperwork. I get to pick it up on Monday. This one was imported by "The Attic".

Would a discussion on the P8 go in this forum? -E-

What I got from the decision was not so much about the stocks, but a continuing trend of decisions that these agencies (ATF in this case) need to stop making rules on their own. Congress can still change current law to ban the stocks if they so chose, but AFT can' go it own their own. -E-

When did the wide G3/91 handguards suddenly become worth their weight in gold? :confused: -E-

Dang it!!! Foiled again.

Dibs on the test fire. I have ammo!!! -E-

FLIR SCOUT III 640 owner. There is good reason as to why they are illegal for hunting big game in my state. https://www.flircameras.com/flir-scout-3-640.htm -E-

Yes, correct. I have found a half dozen other examples posted on the Internet. All had the "OG" stamp in common and correct Parkerized/blued parts. All had late '43 barrels. Bruce Canfield also wrote about how many of the late built rifles were shipped straight off to Ogden. -E-

Once I had the stocks in hand, the only part remaining were the sight hood and cleaning rod. Here again, WW2 originals are extremely expensive. Expect to shell out $100 each for clean marked examples. A collector on another forum had mercy on me and sold me a sight hood with some moderate...

The stocks turned out to be the single most expensive part of the project.....even more than what I had paid for the rifle. :eek: The Germans made wide use of the laminate wood stocks and to my knowledge, were the only country to manufacture them for the K98k. So, if you see one, you know that...

Early on in this project I decided that this was going to be no more than a shooter grade rifle. The original stocks were long gone, the barrel modified, the rear sight base no longer original, and the barrel bands and other stock parts missing. Original Mauser Oberndorf stocks could be found...

The handguard retainer was initially an imposing repair. The retainer lip was a milled part of the rear sight base. The sight base itself is a circular and slides onto the barrel where it is then soldered in place. To remove the rear base from the barrel, necessitates also removing the front...

Another WW2 project gun that I drug home a few weeks ago. This one was a sporterized 1943 K98k byf 43. When original, this rifle would have most likely had the laminated wood stocks that the Germans had begun using in the late 1930s, cupped steel butt plate, and been numbers matching on the...
