The myth of east-german newly manufactured P.38 pistols PART II
Thanks for all the comments on our P.38 post! Initially we wanted to make a video covering all the questions raised but rather doing another post. First we will talk about the technical aspects and then the historical context. So why new barrels? […] There is the tale of 120 P.38 and 120 Luger pistols allegedly newly manufactured in East Germany in the early 1950’s. Also known as the N-series guns. The very comprehensive book “The P.38 pistol” by Alexander Krutzek, Dietrich Jonke & Orvel L. Reichert is giving some conflicting info on that matter. The serial […] In the last post the high speed video was of the first generation VG1-5 that was built a number of years ago by John. What we here at Gun Lab did was start and finished the first 5 VG1-5 rifles. The remaining weapons are currently being built but the first 5 are going through very […] Yesterday while out working at the range we also brought out my nemesis the MG-34.

The current one that I […] It has been a while since I have posted an up-date on the VG1-5 project. The fire control groups have all been assembled and tested.

A quick video […] With mainly doing the hand fitting on the rifle we are correcting a few problems that have come up. This issue is the trigger guard. The original design that we had did not have the correct look and was actually to close to the trigger it self. The solid models for the new design trigger […] I saw this picture over at enrique262 site. The real reason for so many 34’s is that maybe one will work for the entire time. Check it out. http://enrique262.tumblr.com/ I came across this write at The Firearms Blog. I have always found the East German KK-MPI-69 to be an interesting rifle. I thought I would go into a little more depth on the parts of this fascinating trainer. First the interesting write up at the firearm blob. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/12/13/east-german-kk-mpi-69-22-lr-trainers-wild/ Now for some additional pictures of […] With the SAR show coming up we have a group of people staying at the house. So the Wednesday prior to the show a couple of us put on a small machine gun shoot, just to have some fun. Some of these shoots have ended up being a couple of hundred people in attendance. This […] With this post I am happy to note that Axel, a friend of gun lab, is back for a visit and as always we put him back to work. And unlike what most people think of me we did actually allow him some time off to go to the local gun show and stores. This […] |
