American Eagle (Test Luger) Out-of Range

Pete Ebbink · 08-16-2004, 10:05 PM

Hi John S.,

In C. Kenyon's 2nd. book, L-TMNP, on pages 132 and 133 is a good text description and a photo of a luger with the Gomann-Grunow telescoping shoulder stock. Let me know if you do not have the book...it not I can scan these pages and email to you...since the book still has a copyright...thought it best not to post on the Forum.

Hi Ron W.,

Kenyon says in the book, referenced above, that this G-G stock was patented in Germany in 1924 and that he knew of only two specimens (at the time of his book publishing).

I remembered seeing this book-photo somewhere, but could not remember...so spent a better part of last evening going through the Ebbink-library until I found it. You are correct, it looks like it attaches to a standard stock lug on the back of a luger. Maybe some one came up with a custom stock, similar to the G-G sotck, that needed to be drilled/tapped to a rear grip strap if a gun did not have a stock lug...??? Just a WAG...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
