"Built-Up" Pacific Arms Carbine...

Hello Viggo,

I was confident you would get a kick out of seeing this unique sight set-up...I recall a discussion awhile back about the difficulty folks were having trying to add a rear "target" type sight to the top of the rear toggle link and have it stay in place. This "carbine" took an approach I had not seen before, even on the German gunsmith's web site in our Links section...

This "carbine", I would think, would be difficult to value. Since it is not an historical factory piece, I agree with Tom. A. that it is a curio and not for "purtists"...

But some fellow back in 1950 loved lugers enough and his results show care and skill. But how to you place a value on that...?

Part of this man's legacy will last for years in this piece...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
