Why a stock-lug?

As far as I can determine, the stock lug was continued for the express purpose of "Mystifying All Future Luger Collectors". <img border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" title="" src="graemlins/drink.gif" /> "Enough to drive a man to drink"

I have heard it said that the stock irons are not interchangeable with the lugs of one manufacturer to another.

Again it appears that when the machinery was moved from Ã¢??one location and manufacturerÃ¢?Â to Ã¢??another location with a different manufacturerÃ¢?Â there was a change in the fit of the stock lug which would have created serious errors if used as a fixturing device. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

As a Machinist, Toolmaker, Designer, and Supervisor I have never had a feeling that use of the stock lug had any reasonable application in machining techniques, other than to fasten a stock to the frame.

The use of the stock lug as described in several Documentation of the Luger P-08, put forth a variety of applications that, if attempted, would result in disaster to the weapon and tooling! <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />

I for one would Appreciate it if any person having connections in the "Euro Nations", would establish contact with the CEO of the last known Manufacturer of the Luger. (I believe in the 1970Ã¢??s) To determine if the Production Line Supervisor is still available and would answer some questions about the use of the stock lug for manufacturing setup and holding of the P-08 Frame during any machining finishing, or inspection operations.
If one of these Supervisors of the 1970Ã¢??s production plant were available perhaps many of these nagging questions could be put to rest.
Perhaps one of you Forum Members in the Euro Nations could undertake to research this matter, Please? <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
