Hi Joe, Happy to help out! It's not my first rodeo, and I have had similar experience with other new Luger enthusiasts and forum members? Actually you really learn a lot about Lugers every time you take on a challenge like we are about to! And, you don't buy a bunch of century old problems.. As we will correct or replace anything that is not up to par! So, the journey begins... Chapter one, "The search for a frame!" Best to all, til.....lat'r.....GT
