Welcome back Alan. What a great gun to get back in the video production. BRAVO! You look great and hope you keep a light schedule for another couple of weeks. Waiting for more guns and the gun related instructions you mentioned some time ago.
Yes I am thank you for asking. Last week with weight restriction but I think I will feel the muscle burn for months to come. Thank you for the comments.
You can also be right on the production years also.The Walther factory was captured by the French.The French had Walther workers assemble parts from existing parts and refinished them with a rough Parkerized finish for French police,occupation troops,and military.Some of the German and Post-War production pistols went on to serve in Indochina a.k.a Vietnam during the 1950s.Majority did serve with the French occupation forces till it was replaced by the M1950 and 9mm Parabellum was adopted by the French Armed Forces after WWII.
Great tutorial. Especially where it comes to solvent cleaners on historical guns. One thing I did notice, any reason why didn't you remove the locking lug to clean underneath?
You say you don't like a lot of oil but yet use clp to clean... CLP besides being highly carcinogenic will over oil your gun until it dries and gums up your action. Cleaner to clean, oil to oil, brass to scrub.
Wuz up Alan!I'm Alan too!!!I also own an Mauser BYF P-38 and a Walther P-1.Fantastic handguns.Bottom line is your name Alan is spelled the CORRECT way...I hate it when people spell Alan to Allen...I am not a fucking WRENCH!!!Although i use that wrench to take some of my firearms apart.Great video Brother!!!

sorry you are having a problem. I am not sure what you are talking about. I am a visual person and can not see in my mind what is happening. if you send me a short video on what it is doing I would be more then happy to help you. you can send it to my email address. Alansfirearms@gmail.com
Given the intricacies of the gun in real life, Megatron must have been as much of a bitch to maintain as he was to kill, even by Cybertronian standards!
Excellent tutorial. I've been putting off cleaning this gun for a long time and this video made it a snap!
I was also a big Man from Uncle fan. That's how I became interested in the P38. Thanks for the video.
Svaka čast!!! Uspeo sam da očistim,rasklopim i sklopim svoj walther 👌🏻👍👍
Just bought one as my first gun, nice educational video :).

Great video! Will stop by in a few days...
Great video, thanks. What kind of wood stick do you use with the cleaning cloth.

My pleasure I enjoyed doing it. I love the P38 and thank you for the comment.
Thanks for the vid!
Very nice tutorial!
Thank You. I tried to make it interesting and helpful
Rear sight is not drift adjustable, it has a slot milled into it that prevents that. Front sight can be.
Great tutorial. Especially where it comes to solvent cleaners on historical guns. One thing I did notice, any reason why didn't you remove the locking lug to clean underneath?
No reason ... I missed it Sorry, Thank you for pointing it out

Ok
I downloaded a manual from Walther and it said not to dry fire. Take care
thank you … some autos should not be and the manual is were you can find that out.
Hey, thanks for that bit of info, I have one of these too, and did not know that dry firing was a no no!
It is not pronounced "Spree werk" in German. It is "Sphtree verk" as one word.
Got my gun this morning from expansion2 on wickr glock19 gen 5.fired this morning and it was fine...
It’s pronounced “Valter”. The W is pronounced like the W of Wolkswagen. The “th” like a regular T.
P08 wasn't a great military weapon, although it was in two seperate world wars... BUWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
