Where do you shop??

[LWaali]

While usually a higher price, I use Numrich.. Everything I have ordered has been described fairly and I have only had to return one 'complete Mauser action' because it was in worse condition then described but they sent a replacement very quickly that was what I wanted. I always check their sale stuff and have gotten some real bargains. I do not know how their luger parts and prices compare. Ordering online, without being able to see them in person, I will pay a little more for the reputation of not selling bogus parts.

Yeah, really... Numrich has always been a hit or miss proposition to me, and their reproduction parts have mostly been misses. I was restoring an FN 1910 a few years ago, and I ordered several pins, a spring guide and a firing pin. Out of that, I was only able to use one pin. One of these pins should have been a press fit, but was so badly out of tolerance that it just fell through the frame. Also, it had straight ends when they should have rounded. The firing pin and the spring guide were both about 1/16" too long, and if I hadn't caught that it would have bent or even broken the spring stop.

The issue with the firing pin is a safety issue (the firing pin can shoot out from the back if the stop breaks), so I brought it up with Numrich. Their reply was that they were not responsible, and that I needed to contact the manufacturer. Just a few weeks ago I heard the same story from another 1910 owner, so 4-5 years later they're still selling the same, incorrect part.

Does Luger Doc have a website or is he private purchase?

I just bought my second Luger, when I get it I'll post photos, another DWM MG unit marked, 1916. I'll have it by Tuesday. Not a police rework.

Is he the same Luger Doc that's in St Charles Mo? If it is, I'm a stone's throw across the river from him in Calhoun County where we pump sunshine in and moonshine out.
