repo luger stock

SIGP2101 · 10-13-2011, 12:15 PM

I have a reproduction stock that become too lose after first couple of rounds. My problem is opposite, how to make it tight again and how to harden repro - iron properly? It looks like it was made out of cast and then finished of by machining. Quality of the metal used is in question.

I cut a strip from a business card as wide as the tang of the pistol and longer than the groove in the iron. I then put it in the iron with a small bit folded over as a tab to hold on to. I then insert the tang into the iron and rip off the tab after twisting the lock. This will usually tighten up a loose stock iron nicely and is not noticable.
