Nice work Rich...

Watch out, or a certain dealer with a colorful and wordy website will want to sell your one of a kind "variation"!

How does the trigger feel?

Ooh, I didn't know he had a website! He's 70 now, I imagine he must have some younger apprentices working for him...

I think I can come up with a 'war story' that would explain this exciting and rare variation...I think it was issued to the long-range Focke-Wulf Condor pilots [from KG200] who planned to bomb New York City by refueling on ice floes in mid-Atlantic with avgas supplied by U-boat...

Trigger doesn't feel too bad, but my experience with Luger triggers is limited. I know enough not to compare them to anything else, but if I think of it I'll test the pull against my other...three?...And see how it compares...

The trigger spring I had been using went into coil bind before releasing; I had a shorter one in my spares that 'fixed' that particular issue...

The mainspring did seem longer than the three or four 'spares' I have in my parts box...
