Wiz,

I don't think I have seen a dimensioned drawing for a Luger receiver wrench, but several designs have been discussed and photos have been posted.

Use the search function (top right corner of this page) looking for the work "wrench" and you should find some good information on design.

If you have a Luger to measure from, and the know how to machine a wrench just for fun, then you should be able to build it without a thought for cost because most of the cost is in the labor not the materials.

Removing Luger barrels is not a job for the faint-hearted... Most all have been attached for better than 50 years and some for as long as 100 years...If you are not an experienced gunsmith, then I don't recommend you try this at home... One mistake, or one slip and your Luger receiver is marred forever.
