Powder, time or money?

I don't know about you guys, but to me it looks like it's far from finished. How old did you say you were Ed? More to the point, how old is Eugene?
Regards, Norm

Ed,
Did you ever get your Luger carbine? and how did it turn out?

Ooh! Eugene just sold a pretty Luger carbine on GunAuction.com! :)

Let's hope Ed's carbine turns out as nice! :thumbup:

...Next year... :(

Isn't that a silver-solder line from adding/replacing the stock lug? The body (frame + barrel extension) of the pistol looks extra-blue in the pics, compared to the barrel and the attaching hdwe. on the stock, almost like fire-blued. Just curious...

I figure that Eugene cranks out these Luger carbines kind of like the Luger firing animation on the main page of this site...Ed's carbine is down at the bottom of the 'magazine'; Eugene will sell off another carbine on GB, then another on Gunrunner, and two more, and one final one, then Ed's slot should pop up, and Eugene can get started on it... :cheers:

I think Eugene said earlier in this thread he had five to finish by Xmas...$3500 isn't a bad price... :thumbup:

What am I missing,
the auction says Original Luger carbine, is it is or is it ain't?:confused:

Original, in this context, actually means it's NOT a carbine converted from a pistol. The raw material was a carbine, refurbished. Since the raw material is more expensive, the end product is also relatively more expensive.

Probably he did not make much from this though.

Is this apparent from the pictures in the auction?

I am totally ignorant of Luger carbines and would have thought they all started from a pistol frame, with the exception of the barrel.:confused:

I was just informed, by a usually reliable source, that Eugene Golubtsov has decided to give up on Ed Tinkers carbine and send all Ed's parts back... :(

This is disappointing news...For Ed, I mean...I gave up on Eugene over a year ago... :rolleyes:

An interesting but unfortunate turn of events. I'm interested in the details, because I have always been an apologist for the Lugerman, because he always seemed to come thru, eventually.

That will look great on his resume!!!

Damn... It didn't look like there was too much work left to do, so has he been showing pictures of another build, or what happened? :eek:

Ya, The check is in the mail!!

this gun have edges of new blue parts aged to show wear of blue? or maybe just picture lighting?

Ed:
I have long since concluded that it takes threats as well as a lot of huffing and puffing to get Eugene moving.
Glad to hear that good things are still possible.

He is not worth the aggravation no matter how great a job he does.

Is he still advertising?

Im sure glad I read this thread before I thought about using him to restore my Luger. I think I'll seek someone else.
