just letting everyone know i didnt forget about you. i have made some serious progress on shooter. its coming out good. took it down to the range and i got it firing and feeding nicely. and then when it got nice and warm, and stopped firing and feeding nicely, i fixed it again and no its as smooth and reliable and one of my brand new SIGs. the gun seems nice and square and shoots true to the sights (after minor tweaking) i also made some wood grips for it. so no more bakelite. which answers my last question, and changed my whole design again. the grips cames out pretty good. GT likes them. i actually found a checker texturing that can follow a previously define face in my mastercam X. then with a little hand carving and sanding, they look pretty good. tonight i will spend some time uploading all the images and go into more detail of what was done and some before and after pics. the refinishing is still not started as i had to get the gun set up first, but its the next step. i just hope glass beading and polishing doesnt mess up the work i did to get it working. it hasnt yet on any other rebuild projects, but this luger has some of the tighest tolerances ive worked with, (some ive even mic'd down to half a thou in some clearances, which just goes to show the quality these guns have even after almost pushing a century on most of the parts i have. anyways, check back later for pics!! im very excited to hear all of your thoughts, this has been alot of fun and is definitely a new addiction
