Sorry I havent answered your questions for a while. The gun on the picture is a WE luger wiht a steel wool treatment. No paint applied. After some work the wood grips fit perfectly. No wobble. I think it is a great gun you just have to be carfull loading it. always remember to cook the gun before you insert the magazine. Some more pictures. From work shop.  Luger with my 1944kit.  Luger in use. unfortunatly I was shoot and am walking from the battlefield.   In Denmark we have indoor FPS limits so the pistol is great for indoor use.  |

Be really sure you want the 8" model. I have a 4" and it's plenty big, especially if you don't have a holster.
The gun is fairly reliable, although on the first one I had, the two pieces that hold the barrel slide in place fell off the gun during an event and were lost. I liked the performance so much I bought another.
In warm weather I've been able to get around 24+ shots off of one green gas fill, that's about 1.5 magazines. As far as green gas, I get mine at a local shop, I've not tried getting it anywhere else.
Make sure the gun is cocked before inserting the magazine and you won't have any problems with breaking it.

Thanks for the reply! I think I may get the 4" instead, I mean it's probaly a pain to whip out the 8" Barreled Pistol durring a fight. On the plus side of getting a 4" Barrel, I can get an authentic Holster for it too. Thanks again for the answers. |

I picked up one of these Lugers recently. It looks nice and has a fair bit of heft to it. It's bigger than I expected too, despite being the smallest size.
Anyway, is there a way to remove the orange tip while preserving for use as a barrel plug for transportation? What I want to do is remove the orange tip, and then put a small plug inside the tip so I can make it removable for when I transport the gun. It's just a precaution. Thanks.

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? 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. I had the same problem and almost despaired over it, but might have found the solution now. The problem might have been caused by a lack of grease inside the joints of the mechanics of the gun. After firing several magazines with normal Abbey Ultra gas, the gun gradually seems to run out of grease. I've used a can of "maintenance gas" from Begadi, which seems to have solved the problem. It's based on normal Abbey 134a gas containing silicone parts and thus greases the gun from the inside automatically. Just fill it into the magazine, fire some shots and the problem seems to solve itself. |

One half of the solution for me seems to have been lubricating the gun with silicone spray. But that was only half of the solution. It seems that the WE magazine isn't very good. I replaced it with the nearly identical Tanaka magazine and it seems to work fine now. |

Excellent job!! Would you be kind enough to show the inside of those grip panals after modification. Thank you. |

Where can I get parts for my WE Luger? I have damaged one of the grips. The Airsoft Megastore where I bought the gun neither carried parts nor will their "support" unit put me in touch with anyone who carries parts.
Incidentally, the excellent photos illustrating the Guinness review are often replaced by Photobucket icons. What's going wrong?

my only complaint with this gun is that is eats gas like crazy and sometimes I can barely get thru a mag, a little frustrating because I want to use it but fear it failing in a battle

I've never used mine,both in WW2,AND modern events. And when I've gotten home,I went through both mags,no problem. |

OK, OK, You guys convinced me. I bought one of the P08's with the 4" barrel today and the 50 rnd drum mag that is now avaliable. I am eagerly awaiting delivery |

Fantastic delivery. I ordered the P08 on Mar 7 and it arrived from Hong Kong on the 11th. I will be doing some tests with it over the weekend but did some preliminary testing today. The 50 shot drum magazine gives a much more powerful shot than the magazine that comes with the gun. One of the drawbacks was that shots were all over the place. It may be me not controlling the powerful kickback properly, but today was hurried and I wanted some first impressions. If I could get the same powerful shot out of the regular magazine I would be very happy, but the weekend will tell the tale.

What a disappointment this gun is. First impressions were good. It has a good weight and balance. It fired thru the factory clip fairly well. Only misfired a couple of times. The 50 round clip was a trip. The blowback was great and the gun had a nice recoil. No threads in the barrel and this pistol actually has rifleing in the end of the barrel. I was prepared to be impressed.
Today was the real test. This gun would not fire two shots in a row without having to be recocked. In 15 shots it recocked itself twice. So I switched over to the 50 round mag. Same thing. It never fired 3 shots in a row. The weather is not a factor. Not even really cool. I tore the gun down to take a look at the insides and was so disappointed. All major parts are pot metal. I cannot see this gun ever standing up to any kind of use. The old capguns made back in the 40s and 50s were better quality than this thing. I think if someone can manage to get 3 or 400 trouble free shots with this gun they will be doing well. For my part I am going to see if I can send this back and take a loss on the shipping or I will toss it in the junk drawer where it belongs.

Yes and even with my limited use of the gun I could see noticible wear on the edges of meshing parts. If I had to have one of these I would probably get one of the springers. At least you won't have any real money in it and you know what you are buying. I used an appliance grade of grease on the moving parts and light silicone oil othewise. None of this helped with preventing the wear. When you start with pot metal you don't have much left.
If all a person wants to do with this gun is to carry it around and/or hang it on the wall it looks good, but if you expect to pull it from a holster and shoot that may be a problem. I'm sure there will be those who will say they have shot theirs umteen thousand times with no probs, but these are the probs I found with this particular gun sent to me.
Oddly enough the test firing and tear down of the Thompson M1A1 surprised the heck out of me. No firing probs. It performed at the end of the tests as well as it did at the beginning. Several clips at full auto went like a breeze. When I tore it down there was no noticible wear. You can't ask for more than that.

I like my WE P08. Never really had any problems other than a leaky mag... I've had it for over 2 years now!

jettalewis - i've had a similar problem when i was using green gas in a hot day. But it works perfectly when i use 134a. What gas are you using? I've also had my WE luger since 2008 and has racked up several kills with it, albeit all were close quarters.

I used the green gas, but will pick up a can of 134a and give it another try. It may be sometime next week before I can do that. Thanks for the heads up. I have gone thru this gun several times now and can find no logical reason why it should not function properly other than it being pot metal.

Let us know if it works better with 134a. With mine, it always had a lot of stoppages with green gas, but cycled every time with 134a.

I just bought one of these and I want to take the Orange tip off. Does anyone know which direction the threads on this gun go?
Thanks!
