WANTED to buy: Walther P38 Modelgun PFC

Seeing as the British carriers won't ship modelguns anymore (and I can't get MGCUK to ship to me) I'm hoping someone somewhere can help me get a P38 PFC at a reasonable price!
No worries about importing to New Zealand (at present).
I'd like to get one just in case the laws change in the near future!

Wanted P38 !!!!!

Hi,

Marushin is going to re-produce P38 in HW, but it will be dummy rounds model, not PFC firing though...

...which also means Marushin is only making the most out of the old & tired P38 molds (i.e. only enough to make dummy models instead of pfc models)...hopefully if these dummy P38 proves to be a success then they'll somehow give it a "pfc transition" like the Browning Hi-Power...

Hi Guys,
I just managed to win an eBay auction for an older Marushin P38 HW military model for US$350 + postage.
Estimate 2 weeks to freight New Zealand.

I'll post when it arrives and either laugh or cry!

Thanks for your posts.
Cheers.

WOW I think you're paying top dollars for this - so it has to be good ...

And since you're after a firing model so I can't tell you to wait at least the end of this month for the dummy version...

Well, Jim & Shazhib, (& everyone) the P38 PFC arrived by Courier after a day held in Customs!

The orange plug was easily removed (just a bit of soft plastic).
It needed a good dose of silicone spray, as it hadn't been lubricated in years. Stiff action, and sticking slide, and a dusty-grey colour of the surfaces.
A liberal spray inside and out and left overnight to settle - and today it's operating just fine.

I've noticed a little wear on the trigger bar, so I may have to try and replace or repair it in due course.
What I need now are some cartridges......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will search the forum to see what's what.

Just glad to have what I wanted - even for the price I paid! (US$350 + postage).
Here's some pics of it nicely lubricated.




And how it arrived:


The colour has now gone from a dusty-looking grey-blue to a "midnight-blue" colour - and maybe will darken with more absorption???

Anyway, I'm laughing and not crying!!

Now I'm awaiting the deliver of an MGC68 MP40 from the US!.....first long arm I've import, and being all-metal, we'll see how fast it clears the system here.

Good one John - suggest you to get the new dummy "Commercial" version from Marushin as well as to make your collection more complete (due to release by late August)...

Glad you like it :-)
I had mine out for the past week, enjoying it again!

Here's a review for ABS version, I think HW should be mostly the same:
