I'd like to have a Luger I can take to the range and shoot.

Am thinking about building my own from scrounged parts from different manufacturers and wondered advisability of this approach from members of this forum.

I don't know very much about Lugers at all. I think I understand that handfitting was commonly involved.

What I would hope to accomplish with building approach is ending with a sound, functional Luger - collectibility not an issue; mismatched numbers okay - for less than I could buy a used one of like quality.

Was glad to find and join the forum today and look forward to being a contributing member.

Thanks in advance for any help, direction or advice. When it comes to Lugers, I am a novice.

Regards,

David
