Re-Barreling an M1896 Mauser

Well this is my first post on Luger Forum, in fact its my first post on any firearms forum.

I must say that I am struck by the sheer beauty and balance of the Luger P08, so much so that it I have dedicated 2015 to replicating this piece. I have all the machinery necessary to perform the task, and access to any special steels and tooling that I may require to finish my project.

The firearm will probably never be fired, but we will see.

I have truly enjoyed the contribution that "sheepherder" has made, many questions that I may have had have already been answered by reading this forum.

I hope to make a contribution along the way.

I do have a rather poor copy of the P08 blue prints, so my question is this: is there a clean copy of the original 1900 P08 blue prints available?

Regards,
engineer.
