But I remember that Photo was of a 16" barreled Luger without a forestock or handguard, and that the scope was side mounted using tow Williams type thumbscrews that were tapped into the large rectangle of the frame to the right of the sideplate area and in front of the safety...

If I come across the photo at a later time Rick (& Ted) I will let you know... but IMHO it was a pretty ugly setup.

If I were going to scope a Luger I would get a long barrel that pleased my eye and then forward mount a long eye relief scope on a base much like the Artillery Rear Sight base... In fact, one of the new reproduction Artillery barrels with the built in base would be perfect for this...
