WE P08 Luger

I know how you feel - joined at two sites where I have been playing for ages and still had to go through a probationary period. What a ball ache to buy what's basically a toy - easier to get a shotgun license!

Hey in Liverpool easier to get a real gun well so I am told

Yep, reals guns are readily avalable here, a kid was arrested yesterday by our house with a live gun, I bet when he goes to court he will only get a slap on the wrist, 100s of police officers also raided local homes, the assault force included large numbers of armed police & a low flying helicopter, I saw several police armed with Mp5s & what looked like G3 assault rifles, as darkness fell & the police left the gangs of hooded youths slowly took control of the streets again to cause more mayhem....

Just spotted that Land Warrior Airsoft are taking pre orders for the WE Lugers.......

Anybody know the URL for their site? it looks like they forgot to re-register the .com and it's been pinched. That or an email address for LW as ASCUK won't let me register with a Hotmail account.

It says on the ASCUK site, from clanfalcon:

Quote: Due to a small hitch with our hosting company (mainly them being retarded) it looks like the site will be down over the weekend. If you require anything the shop will be open on Saturday 10am until 5pm. This will effect email also.

Please call 0131 654 2452
If you would like to request a call back for ordering please email clanfalcon@hotmail.com with the subject CALL BACK REQUEST and specify a time (during office hours).

Just ordered mine from Hobby Asia £76 inc postage
(Have to wait and see what customs stick on it )

Arrived today... First impressions are that unlike most ACM guns, these will need a good oiling! Very solid pistol with a nice feel but toggle on one gun sticks in the up position and the mag sticks on the other. Cracked off a few gas only shots and I have to say that the toggle action gives it a nice balance - decent kick but it doesn't lift as much as my TM 1911. hoping to take it shooting next weekend so I'll let you know how I get on!

any one knows if WE is making spare mags? or some one have tried to fit tanaka ones in it?

o thanks john, why you "You'd still be limited to 134A gas with the Tanaka mags"? what happens if you run propane or green gas in a tanaka mag the fire pin get damage or something? thanks

You may blow the seals if the mag is designed for 134a, like the gun.

Still waiting for my Luger
Posted in china on the 5th, arrived in this country on the 6th, sent to customs later on the 6th, awaiting charges in customs on the 6th........ still there
Contacted parcelforce and they replied that the package is at customs and they have no control over it, nor can they give me a contact number to make enquiries.
Don't you just love parcelforce & Customs

i;v e not long had a tanaka po8 luger,took it out side and the cold as turned it from black to purpel

Purple pistol, eh?

How about a pic, David?

I had an order of 4 arrive on saturday from boom arms

they took just over a week to arrive

Sailed through customs (i had a declaration attached to the package with my membership number for first and only) i got a £30 customs bill which was really low (in the past i have paied up to £80 for a package of the same value). Result was they cost about £80 each

Have to say really impressed. There was one of each model in the package the 8" is mental.

however quite cold round here so 134a was rubbish so i was on abbey red (ultra pred i think). like john M is as well. Its probably the best one to go with. Also mag cool down is not too bad just dont xpect to fire off a full mag really quickly in one go. i find last 4 shots wont go. However give it a rest its fine will fire about 4-5 more in a second mag.
They all fire lovely but the long one is sooooooo accurate.

personally though i prefer the short one it just feels right.
have fun

hi
does anyone know if the tanaka wood grips will fit on it?
is it a exact copy?

cheers
jay

Well....
Customs have had my luger since the 6th of Feb
I phoned them on Tuesday this week to try and find out what the problem is. I was told they need to know the reason/defence for importing an airsoft pistol and it's value, this is despite the fact that it had a declaration from me attached to it.
It's now Thursday and I still haven't recieved a letter with their demands on

Joy upon joy my Luger arrived today with a £26 customs charge.
The only thing that really stucks is that when I phoned customs to find out what the hold up was they explained that they needed proof of membership to an Airsoft site and an invoice. I stated that both were attached to the parcel (promised by vendor in HK) they replied they weren't. Took them a further two weeks to decide I was a genuine airsofter. AND GUESS WHAT, when I eventually got the package neatly attached to the side was a letter with the words ' For the attention of UK Customs' inside was my declaration that I had faxed to HK and an invoice

Still, fantastic pistol if only my WE 1911 was as good

I wanted wood grips on my luger, so this i what i did.

Went to Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Walnut-Grips-for-Lu ... 18Q2el1247

The guy only sells the grips to US customers on Ebay, so i contacted him via Email.
The service is great, and the grips where posted the same day i payed for them.

The grips are cheep and the quality is great. The shape is almost perfect but you need to dremmel of some material on the inside of the grips, to make them fit the WE Luger.

Pictures:

I had mine delivered today and yes it's very nice.

Here it is.
Final picture.
Walnut grips oiled up. The pistol got a Guinness steel wool treatment.
