I have a non firing replica Luger P08 Artillerish Modell and I am attempting to restore it to a "functioning" state, as it is in poor condition to say the least, as of right now the missing parts are the sideplate and mechanisms inside it, the grips and grip screws, and the center toggle axle pin, I have pictures of what I am working with if necessary, just need a good site to get the center toggle axle pin and I can handle the rest from there

If you will post photos of what you want I can probably help you.

The dimensions on the replicas are off by design, just enough to prevent what you are looking to do.
I think you will find that it will require much modification to make anything fit.

alanint is correct. These models were created to prevent the insertion of real parts, and to make sure toy parts were not used in a real pistol. Either of those conditions would have been dangerous and would lead to a disaster. If you need toy (replica) parts, you will have to find a source for the replica parts. Perhaps even find another replica Luger of the same vintage that has the parts you need...

Put an active search on eBay to find what you are looking for so they will email you everytime something that matches your search is posted. Here is an example. I see that even parts guns (replicas) are not cheap!

It might be easier to just buy a modern replica, or take up machining as a hobby and make your own parts.

Or you could bite the bullet and purchase a fill blown luger from one of the many users here selling them :) might he a little easier than the endeavor you're trying to embark on

"new" luger models/replicas cost about $100, you can't buy many luger parts for that.
I'd buy a new model, if I wanted one.

Well, I thank everyone here for their input, I'm going to take my replica to a gunsmith for a fourth opinion on the matter before I do decide to buy a $1,500 firing Luger from either here or another website

Good luck with that....
