May explain why the remaining barrel markings are shallow and machining marks are subdued

Are any of the parts original?

Hell of a first rifle. Congrats

Thanks for the info. Jan had a rig almost exactly like this one

Was this purchased out of the Jan Still Collection?

Shame the stock was cut. Could be a candidate to splice and bring it back to its proper length.

No offense to my forefathers but I can’t wait until the meek inherit the earth (collections). I will have to keep the war chest full for when my great predecessors decide to pass down their Gewehr conversions and G41Ms

That burl on the rear of the stock is awesome. This entire rifle is unbelievable.

Unrelated to the post, but I miss you Hale. Hope you are well boss. It appears from photos OP sent me that the rear screw is properly marked. Front action screw is not. This is the post on the trader that this rifle was purchased through...

It’s somewhat annoying how quickly the correlation to the rifles is dismissed. All other theories just use the shared totenkopf iconography to assume a relationship. Meanwhile, the SS gewehr reworks share both markings and the commercial proofing styles. Two commonalities should make SS...

Mitchel had gotten to them already 🥶

I hop the guy who ended up with that lemon didn’t pay too much

I’m far from an expert on these rifles so take this with a pinch of salt, but the serial numbers on the barrel and bands look engraved. You can see where the numbers start is thick and terminates thin for each of these serial numbers. It looks especially strange on the zero of the rear band...

I hate to bump my own post, but I’m very interested to get a second opinion on the stock renumbering. I test fired it once, but since nothing is holding the front band down, it popped loose. Strangely, there are deep gouges in the chamber while the bore is beautiful

Simson era firing proof is cool on these early ‘37 rifles

What ammo did you use?

Man that receiver is ROUGH

this is the first time I’ve heard this. Everyone on the LugerForum tend to believe it is the frame.

A buddy of mine purchased a stripped luger frame off of ebay for his "build a frankenP08 from ebay parts only" challenge. He had no knowledge that doing so was illegal, but it arrived to his door with no hassle.
