has anyone else noticed that the hop up appears to be upside down? when you tighten the screw, it pushes the "bump" in the barrel up from the bottom, not down from the top.it seems that they have effectivly created the hop down system.

the tanaka mags will work put you have to file something down inside the gun to make em fit. your probably better off just buying the WE ones.

Buy the WE mags - they're only about £20 and let's face it, one spare is enough to back-up your back-up.
BTW the hop on these guns is shocking and they're a pain in the butt to adjust. They look nice but I rarely skirmish mine.

my Luger is spasing out. ill be shooting it and it will suddenly start firing fully automatic. its not uncontrollable. its only when i hold down the trigger. it only happens sometimes, but im afraid that if it keeps up, somethings gonna break. has anyone else had this happen to theirs?

Hi! Excellent customization work guys, really impressive. I will have a go as well when I get my We Luger. I will post pictures. A quick question, the Colt M1911 A1, is that a full metall veriosn? what manufacturer is it?  Regards / Jesper |

Here it is. Final picture. Walnut grips oiled up. The pistol got a Guinness steel wool treatment.  So this is a WE Luger? God dammit, you got it to look like the real thing almost. Nice job! |

Im having a problem with mine. The only thing wrong is that the inner barrel has seperated some how and every time the pistol is fire the barrel shoots out. Any suggestions?

I got my WE Luger yesterday and i´m happy to say that there was no threading in the muzzle..Maybe i got a revised second version or something? Beutiful gun and fun too shoot! Sorry to join this discussion so late but could those of you (in the US) who managed to get a WE 4 inch Luger that comes *without* the inner barrel threading post links to the place(s) where you got the gun model from? This will be a great help. Thanks very many in advance. Richard |

Thanks for that Tobbe. But I was hoping to find a U.S. source (if possible) and in any case the website of Nordicstar shows a Luger with a threaded inner barrel (!).
Has anyone else had luck with getting a Luger (4") that comes without the threading?
Cheers, Richard

just to let you guys know...the reason for the loose inner barrel was due to the loose allen screw in front of the hop up. Just thought I would let you guys know. Also my 4" came without a threaded barrel which is great.

I am new to gas operated guns,but I am interested in the WE Luger. I have a few newbie questions: Where can I get the green gas, how is it loaded, what equipment if any, is necessary to load it, and approx. what is the cost per shot? One more: I understand that Green Gas is silicone lubed propane. Is it safe to shoot in a basement? Is there a fire hazard? Thanks! Joes

Some online airsoft stores carry green gas, as should your local airsoft shop (if you have one). I have heard that you can use propane with the correct attachments, but it willl need to be lubed separately. 2. To load it you pull the side tab on the magazine down just after the hole near the bottom of the mag then fill the bb in there. after so slowly release the tab untill its pushing the bb's. *this might just be happening to mine but dont load the max amount of bb's into it or it will jam every other shot or so* 3. Could you explain the "cost per shot"? 4. I have shot mine inside with no problems, but that was only to scare off a dumb friend of mine who was making a scene..... hope this helps |

Just a quick question, did you apply any paint or spray to make the finish look like that or is it the original WE Luger finish with just a steel wool treatment? Regards / J Here it is. Final picture. Walnut grips oiled up. The pistol got a Guinness steel wool treatment. So this is a WE Luger? God dammit, you got it to look like the real thing almost. Nice job! |

Just a few notes from a Luger collector: (I have six Imperial Lugers)
The 1915 dated Luger this airsoft was expertly copied from would have had when new a gray-blue finish with a low sheen, not the high gloss found on later guns. ( called the rust-blue process ) The trigger, safety lever, take down lever, and ejector (reproduced as the shiny strip on the right side) would have been a light gold color, known as straw, that color produced by heat treatment on bare polished steel. The safety bar that sticks up to block the action when the lever is pushed down, would have been left in the white.
The all black hot-dip salt blue Luger finish scheme would not have appeared until after mid-1937, when the Nazi's were trying to cut costs and speed up production.
Lugers were serial numbered from 1 to 9999, then 1a (subscript) to 9999a, then 1b to etc. mainly starting over with each year. Some years in WW1 there were enough produced to get thru more than half the alphabet. Estimates around a million from 1908 to the end of 1918.
The full serial number, with subscript if any, only appeared on the frame in front of the trigger guard, and the full serial number less the subscript appeared on the left side of the chamber.
If the gun was serial number 1, that was all there was, just the single digit. If number 48p, then two digits were used. 948 had three, and of course most of the guns had four-digit serial numbers. Thus gun number 9999f dated 1916 was produced before number 12g. etc. And then the two manufacturers, DWM and the Erfurt armory, were both using this numbering scheme, without any co-ordination of numbers, so duplicate numbers would have been normal in many cases. For assembly and matching purposes only( factory and field) -- most all the visible parts of the gun had the last two or one digit of the serial number stamped on them.
The modern registering of even the relatively small thousands of bring-back Lugers in the USA has resulted in numerous serial number conflicts.
The mfg. did such a good job on this WE gun, and the mods done by Guiness make it look like the real thing. Note that in the WW2 era, the only Lugers made or in use would have been the 4-inch.
I wonder if WE will produce a Walther P38 airsoft. ? Now that would be a real Nazi gun. The Lugers that so many people relate to the Nazi's was actually rejected by them, and production was stopped in 1942, to favor the P38, a better more modern battle pistol. Of course many remained in service, when P38's were not available.

I do have a question about airsoft guns ... would a longer barrel like the 6" Navy or 8" Artillery produce higher muzzle velocities, like they would with 9mm or .30 cal. Lugers ?
That would mean more accuracy. ??

After only 200 shots went full auto. Actually there's NO satisfactory solution (hammer metal is too weak). Sadly, it was a waste of money. |

Sweet metallic finish, waffen ampts on each piece (no bull), Ser. No.'s on all three major pieces (4483 b - Same # system?) Pic's up in "post latest acquisitions" thread.  |
