Rebored P-08
Stefanosg mentioned that he would like to see a full-auto Luger. I used to make gun parts years ago for P-08, Mauser and other pistols. I saw in a book on Luger pistols a full-auto sideplate and sear bar attachment assembly which, would trip the striker upon seating of the toggle assembly in battery on the barrel extension. I built a modern version of the device I saw utilizing a small tapered roller bearing at the rear of the extended sear bar. My side plate had a small lever which looked like the safety lever and which operated the sear by sliding it in and out of position for engagement of the tapered roller bearing with the toggle knob. It worked very well though the toggle mechanism was a bit slow, it still fired the 9 rounds from the magazine in about 2 seconds. I had installed it in a Navy version of the P-08. I currently do not have the device and have no means of manufacturing one at this time.
Just thought if anyone had seen the picture of this mechanism in a Luger book and wondered if it worked. It did!!!
