For anyone who might be looking for a Walther P-38 (actually these are late production,
aluminum frame versions called P1), Aim Surplus has a batch.
Apparently the aluminum frame, where the locking block hits it can crack, so later versions
have a steel hexagonal pin (visible on the sides of the gun) pressed in to take that load and
spread it through the frame safely.
I have nothing to do with Aim Surplus other than being a satisfied customer.
Oh, they are asking $520. Aim has a list of FFLs in your area that they deal with, makes it
pretty easy to get a transfer at a reasonable fee. These are C&R eligible, too
I got a P-1 some years ago and it is a very good shooter. Likes my cast loads with Lee
120 TC at .358 real well. Mine has the hex pin, sights are very good, too.
