Hi Folks, <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Lets hear from all of you who may have Knowlege of Interest in this Subject!
I have just decided to Post this correspondence to see if it will trigger some enlightening response.
Dwight,
Thanks for remembering our brief correspondence on "Firing The Eagle Luger And Ideal Holster",
I just received an E-Mail from Dwight, remembering Our correspondence relating to his first Post on this Subject.
"Shame on ME", I constructed My Ideal Repro, to Comply with the Federal C&R Rulings so that I might have a rare Shooter Combination, And would you believe it? To this day I have not yet been able to find the right time or Place to test fire My Combo. <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" />
Several times I have considered getting togather with John Sabato and going to the NRA Range to try it out (If Jacketed Ammo is acceptable there).

I do not know of any other Pistol Range that is in the State of Virginia, and I do not wish to chaance the Wrath of the BATF by crossing State lines With A Pistol to visit a Range in any other State.
So I just sit here and Hope that an "Opportunity Comes To Me".
"FAT CHANCE", I know that I'm The one who has to move but I just cannot find the right time or place. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
Your experience of discomfort, brings a thought to mind, Was it not the accepted attire to wear a Shooters Jacket with a Padded Shoulder for A Day at the Range?
I seem to remember, at some time in the past, seeing a Photograph of a well attired gentleman wearing a Bowler Hat, Padder Shooters Jacket, Jodpurs, and Riding Boots carring a Ideal Equipped Luger at a Shooting Range Firing Station with the Targets in the Background.
Have You considered relining the barrel of your 1900 AE Shooter? As I understand it, the relining would not change the original status of the Pistol, where changing the barrel to unnumbered or different serial number might remove it from the original status.
Or as another solution Possible the use of a 22 cal Conversion Kit similar to the ERMA.
I am considering applying to the Feds for a C&R and a ruling on wheather changing the barrel from 30 cal to 9 mm would disqualify my 30 cal 1906 AE as an acceptable firearm for attachment of the Ideal.
