FURRER M1919 SMG BASED ON THE LUGER PISTOLE 08
I suppose being half German I should have taken more of an interest into one of the worlds finest machined pistols before now. I bought a book sometime ago on the LUGER and its origins and found some really interesting points not commonly known, which might interest a lot of you.
The 7.65mm Furrer M1919 submachinegun was effectively a Luger action mounted in a carbine stock designed by the head of Waffenfabrik Bern, which produced Swiss Military Lugers. The Bergmann MP 18 was not related to the Luger technically, but took over the tactical role of the LP 08. It fed from the same 32 round snail drum, fitted with a slide-on collar to reinforce the neck.
Was wondering if anybody was a dedicated Luger expert and what they could impart on this interesting weapon for its time?
