Eugene,
I know that I am coming in late to this, but here are some thoughts...
Do not copy the Aberman Luger, use the specifications for the pistol which was actually used for the Army test. The test pistol has the standard Luger grip angle, the Aberman and Norton guns do not.
Make sure the pistol actually functions.
Plan on making lots of extra magazines for the people who actually shoot.
The price point must be below $5,000--preferably closer to $3,000--for Real People to consider buying. Otherwise you are in the same ballpark as Mike's version, or the new limited-edition Krieghoff--most people who would be capable buyers might rather spend the money on some really nice original Carbine or Fat Barrel, or the like. Frankly, you can find a John Martz conversion cheaper than your price point.
