You will want to contact Lugerdoc(Tom Heller), and GT, both members of this forum and good folks to work with. They will most likely have what you need/desire.

I had posted this in another thread, but since a member asked...

The eBay username of the maker of the Luger Action Wrench and Barrel Vise is wallycooper. He makes the wrenches and vises for dozens of different firearms. He does a run of a specific firearm tool and then moves on to another. Here's a couple of pics of what he has currently on eBay. An eBay email about Luger vise/wrench availability should get you an idea of when they will be available.

Barrel reinforcement rods ['drill blanks'] are available from Travers in a variety of sizes - Metric, number. letter, and fractional. The barrel needs this support during clamping.

The wrench, vise, and barrel reinforcement rod are what I consider bare minimum of tools to swap out Luger barrels. I make my own vise inserts now, since Luger barrel tapers can differ. And I still wrap the barrel in one layer of 2" masking tape to reduce/eliminate marring the finish.

Much easier & cheaper to have Tom [lugerdoc] or Gerry [G.T.]swap out your barrel for you!

I can attest to the excellent service, communication, value, and expertise that I have had with GT working on my Luger shooters.
He is a resource that we are fortunate to have, and I highly recommend him.
His turnaround time was very quick with the work I sent.
