Re: AIM has WW2 German P38's in stock
$579? Are they Crazy? My Gun shop here in Monroe county is selling them for $369 and i'm sure he got them from AIM because he buys a lot of stuff from them.
Wow, maybe i SHOULD get one!

WW2 P-38s cost more than the post war P-38.
A Republic, if you can keep it.

Yep. According to the description, they are numbers-matching wartime production and $539 is not a horrible price for that. You guys are likely seeing post wars or reworks for under $400 but if you're not you should be buying every one of them that you come across at that price.

Re: AIM has WW2 German P38's in stock
Im VERY tempted..
Think they will ever have matching P08s for sale at a resonable price??
EDIT: also saw a "X" stamped on one so thse appear to be RC's. If that matters to anyone.Last edited by BandanaBandit1; January 26th, 2012 at 08:05 AM.

Re: AIM has WW2 German P38's in stock
Huge difference for folks who might not know, but the vast majority of post war P38s/P1s have an aluminum frame and steel slide, amongst other differences; it's all steel pre war and during the war. Great mix here of makers, variations, Russian captures, etc...
Nice that Wolff makes recoil, mag, and other springs for these pistols, and at a very bare minimum, the recoil springs should be swapped out if you purchase one. Real nice too that an 03/C&R FFL works for these, and even postwar P38/P1 pistols.

Re: AIM has WW2 German P38's in stock
I wonder if they have a billboard sized import stamp on them or they are stamped in a decent manner?
There are still some honest wartime non-capture/no X, non-stamped guns out there in the $600-$650 range if you know where to look.
