New gunz in da house - Luger & Husqvarna Revolver

Post by awo425 » Sat Jul 19, 2008 2:07 pm

I am more a rifle shooter and collector, but now and than I get sidetracked by nice handguns too.

Here we have an old and beat up DWM Luger 7,65mm m/23, that served to protect Finland from being invaded by uncle Joe:

There is some work to do, found new screws for the brass disc, the old ones got loose. Next thing will be a new old magazine bottom.

Barrel is in good shape, bright and strong lands, always good cared for.

For quite some time I wanted a swedish m/1887 Nagant Revolver, but prices were not to my liking, until I found this little beauty:

Barrel and chambers look like brand new!!!!

Got them old beaters to the range today.

The luger shot very low, as expected, used the same target for the ortgies too:

Also the loading for the Husqvarna revolver was not too bad:

A little too weakt, muzzle velocity varied too much for better grouping.
