Add to this the sad passing of thousands of WW2, Korean War and VN vets, which will presumably inject thousands of otherwise unknown guns into the collector market.

Sounds better ?
Hi Eugene, Mike Krause is a pretty savvy business man, if he feels the market for high priced 45 cal Luger reproductions is saturated at 50, then it probably is. A 45 GAP for 3k is another story, if you can pull it off. All the best, Norm

When I talked to Mike Krause, it sounded like he is getting older and feels like he has paid his dues to the Luger collecting society.
He did not say anything about 50 Lugers been enough for all the Luger collectors out there...

And then again, if he is good business man, he may be trying to make me believe that's the case... to sell me some blue prints

As far as 45 GAP luger conversion ... I do not see any big problems. After all we can surely go where others have gone before .. right ?

I am not the same person I was 10 years ago, trying to build my first carbine ...

Times have changed... i have machines that i did not dare to dream about 10 years ago...
Maybe pocket change for some... but a gold mine for others

All and all 45 GAP is coming ... soon.
