stock lug restoration

Conny · 06-22-2011, 09:06 PM

I have a John Martz Artillery Luger frame I will sell. It is very rusty and not worth the money to have restored (for me). Basically, a paperweight. However, the stock lug is there if you need it. $50.00 won't touch it.

Ed, I don't know if I should post this here or for sale section or list price now or??????? Just trying to help a fellow Luger lover.

.....I have a back half of a luger frame (with lug), cut down thru the grip screw holes.. DWM or Mauser... $25.00 plus postage and your in business!!

Gentlemen:

I am amazed and gratified for contributions of all, but G.T. really got my attention, there. Email sent.

, if you know what I mean.

Conny, I agree that even a rusty Martz frame would be untouchable due to the stigma of so much collectibility attached to it!

Sounds like G.T. hit the nail right on the head--just what I want, a sawed-off, orphan chunk. I can see it now, you're standing by the scrap barrel poised to drop it in, but then hesitate, and think, "Nah, I'd better not."

Thanks again, G.T.!

Yup! Save everything twice!...

.. My dad was a "King packrat!" and I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree...??... Anyway, might just as well be "recycled" as it is a better fate then rusting away in my parts pile.. Best to all, Glad I could be of assistance.. til...lat'r...GT

DWM rear frame half with stock lug is in the mail! Pretty nice too! Going to be interesting to see how this turns out?? John V. Martz used to perform this restoration all the time, although I don't remember where he made the bottom cut??
