Re: Why aluminum?
Hi Rod! Once you make one or two Luger parts, you want to make them all! I sometimes allow myself the fantisy of designing a luger in a modern day version! The only reason for aluminum is that it machines easy for prototype work when you are equipment light! (Another drawback to poverty!)I have closely inspected the Swiss 06/29 and came away amazed at the improvements they made to the design 70+ years ago, I agree most all parts, both major and small, would have to be cast to a near net shape! I think some parts could be redesigned, others eliminated all together! There is still a lot of room for improvement, Neat gun, nice dream! till...later....G.T.
