My new inheritance

[JuergenG]

The number under the 8966 appears to be 9.82.

That's 8.82 which is the actual land diameter. So no alphabet Luger.

Oh ok thanks.

Just an update. I called pack and postal the other day to see if/when Joe would be around and they told me he is out right now due to health/medical issue and thought he would be back in a couple of weeks. Hope everything is ok with him but looks like I will have to wait a little longer.

This is the Luger that I recently inherited. I don’t know anything about it other than my moms uncle or grandfather brought it back when he came home. It has been in a closet since I was kid and recently passed down to me as my parents are now in their 80’s.

Nice. Cool to have a piece of history you can actually use too! How does it shoot?

Sorry for the delayed response. I actually haven't gotten around to shooting it yet. I've been waiting to see what Pack and Postal has to say, that and I've been pretty busy around the house trying to get all my winter wood brought into the basement.

Good for you. My wife never lets me stick my winter wood in her basement.

Now that was a good one.

Very cool inheritance!
I've got three Lugers, none of which are in 100% original matching condition. All are excellent shooters though. If you plan to shoot yours maybe look into getting a spring pack from Wolff gunsprings that will return the gun to factory original specs. And just shoot factory fmj through it. Stay away from +p or hollow points.

Thanks for the info.

Well I called Pack and Postal today to see when Joe would be working this week and they said he is still out and not sure when he would be back. So it looks like I will have to wait a bit longer.

ETA. Hope he is ok

One mag through it out on the backyard range.

How are the springs? Got a new one for my 1917 Erfurt…shot like a different pistol.

To be honest I was happy it went bang and not kaboom. I don’t know why but I was kind of nervous, should have know to trust German engineering.
