Hello Gentlemen. I am in the process of purchasing uniforms in order to perform a Wehrmact impression. I am considering all the broomhandles (and its carbine and stocked variants) and lugers. As for lugers, I was wondering if the WE-tech had the spot to attach the stock, as the Tanaka does. As for the broomhandles, do any of them have the ability to have a stock attachment point (I know the KWC does). Any suggestions are also appreciated, as I am trying to consider all options. Thank you.

Evike just released this the other day: www.evike.com/products/63915/WE Tech Broomhandle, with (simulated) wood stock, so I that answers one question, haha. They also sell two mag sizes, too. I'm tempted to get one myself and try it out. |

Sorry. When I said "KWC" I was talking about the WE-Tech. That seems like a fine option, with the exception of it being WE-Tech, which i have never heard any good things about. I was wondering if the HFC broomhandle or other broomhandles and lugers had the ability to attach a wooden stock like that. Thanks

Despite what you might have heard, all my WE Tech guns have been solid. Another choice would be a CO2 Broomhandle from Red Wolf Airsoft, I think they name it the "M712" on their website.

Okay. I still don't know if other Lugers and C96 Mausers have the ability to attach to wood stocks. How does that work? Is there a rail on the rear of the pistol grip?

Sorry for the Necro, but this seemed to be the most appropriate forum to ask this question on. I got a Luger made by KWC for my birthday, but after almost a month of use, it is starting to show signs of wear. The rear toggle piece (has the sight's V-notch on it), which is held in place by a pin is starting to wear down. It looks like the pin is wearing the metal it is holding in place down, so the holes it runs through are going from a circular shape to more of an oval. I fear if I keep shooting, it'll eventually wear through completely, disabling the luger entirely. anyone know how I go about getting a machinist to make a steel replacement part? (if you look at the parts list the part that's wearing out is Z10)

That is sadly a chronic issue with that gun. I don't know of an aftermarket replacement piece. Back on the initial discussion. The Mauser with or without the broom handle stock would be so rare as a fielded weapon as to be on the fringes of acceptability for events now that appropriate more authentic choices are available. The Army most likely to have fielded them would be the Chinese oddly enough.

Most of these guns are made of a fairly soft alloy. Getting a machinist to make a new one is going to cost an arm and a leg. It might be possible to get the toggle link from a real Luger from a gun parts seller, like Numrich. aka gunpartsco.com. If they're close enough dimensionally it might work. It also might not if the dimensions are off. I looked at Numrich, They sell for $35, but they're out of stock. It might also be possible to drill out the hole and insert a bushing.

Did you checked with KWC or the main importer? Sometimes they can source such small parts and the price isn't very high. Only the time is usually the issue.

To answer the initial question, yes. All WE-Tech Lugers have a lug on the bottom of the grip frame to attach a buttstock. However, only the Navy (medium length) and Artillery (long length) Lugers were issued with buttstocks, and only during WWI. So, those two wouldn't be the best option for a Wehrmacht impression. I'd go with the common short length gun. As for modifications, I've been documenting my progress in upgrading the internals for increased reliability and longevity in a thread which I will link below. Thus far, I have replaced the sear spring with one of thicker wire, and increased its travel to give it a greater mechanical advantage for retaining the hammer. In doing this, though, the first trigger linkage in the sideplate didn't impart enough movement to the sear levers in the barrel extension, causing the trigger pull to be long with the break at the very limit of the pull. To overcome this, I made an upgrade part out of steel barstock with nothing more than a hand-cranked drill, hacksaw, and files. I'll go into greater detail in an update on my thread. ww2aa.proboards.com/thread/12092/luger-full-auto-problem-solved |
