P-38's within the UK.

[behblc]

I am considering buying a P38 , will have to do this within the Uk as a deact.
can any Uk emmebers give me any guidance as to who to buy from and who best not to buy from , what is good , bad and ugly (to be avoided).
A decent model would be what is wanted , clean , representative of the gun with no nasty features.

Thanks in advance.

Hi James, I would recommend Tony Budge at Ryton Arms.

These are all Russian capture ones and are in very nice condition and are a bit of history in their own right. I and several other British members of the forum have bought from him.

Cheers, Ade.

The K-98 I mentioned in another thread came from Ryton, I obtained it from Mark Bentley at "Tiger Collectibles".
Will take a look and see .

At the moment they seem to have come across a load of untouched, all matching and all blueing ones, its a dream!

what exactly are you getting for your money ?

also out of the list of p38 for sale on the website what are the best ones to aim for. cheers

Unlike the RC K98's with these P38's your getting (if you ask nicely) an original 100% finish, all matching P38, no monkey bussiness. You can ask for specific dates and manufacturer but the pistol you might get might not be the best condition one they have, if you ask for the best condition one then they'll tell you what it is They may have sold all the good ones now but hopefully not
