Hi Guys! I've thought a lot about the different materials that could be utilized for luger construction, and, how do you think aluminum alloy would hold up for the receiver? A luger barrel is quite robust all by its self...and the only area of concern that I can see is the rear toggle pin area. If this was made adequitely robust, do you think it would withstand the repeated impacts that are demanded by todays auto pistol shooters? Again, PURE SPECULATION! Any thoughts! till....later....G.T.
