Barrel removal

John Sabato · 05-18-2004, 09:59 AM

Gerben, in order to change a Luger barrel, you must have the correct tools or the receiver or barrel will be damaged in the process. It is not a job for an amateur unless you can afford to mar the finish of the gun you are trying to restore. The fabrication of the correct tools would be expensive unless you have your own machine shop. My suggestion would be to send the upper receiver/toggle and the new barrel to either Herb Werle in Germany or Hakan Spuhr in Sweden to have the barrel installed properly.

If you insist on attempting this yourself do searches on "barrel removal" or "wrench" to find photos of the tools...

If you can't find any, let me know and I will try to dig them up for you.
