Okay.....here's the deal! It's plastic, like I said before. When Dok started making these great cases, he needed a full size Luger, or mock up to make sure they were the right size in the right places. He didnt have his Jewel yet, so he bought this kit Luger from Wombat and built it and painted it. It is a model, like a model train or plane, it is a spring gun that fires plastic BBs..CAPICE?? Ja.... Capice!
