Luger 'parts' kit

[Hugh]

I presently have about six "parts kits" in my parts box! I have one 1906 gun that I have put together from parts, but have not had the chance to refinish it yet. I started accumulating parts several years ago with idea of making baby Lugers with them, and soon realized that it is cheaper to buy a "shooter" and convert than to buy all the parts necessary to build a complete gun. However it is possible if one has the desire and money. The only problem I have run into is that sometimes the reciever and frame, or the reciever and toggle assembly, will be too tight to mate properly. However this can be rectified by the application of a little fine valve grinding compound, and working the parts in.
