Re: How were they made?
A slight correction FGR , Most of the machining was done on special designed and constructed machines that performed a series of machining operations on a single setup .
By the use of this type of machining process they were able to maintain a closer relationship of the numerous surfaces on the individual parts of the firearm.which resulted in the fine Weapon that we now admire !
These Machines were moved and changed hands several times during the production life of the Luger and when these machines were finally worn out and retired the mass manufacture of these fine weapons effectively ended .
Production of the modern "Luger" is done on much different machines at a much less quanity and using many short cut methods that have brought about much controversy which you can trace back by searching the key words "stainless steel , ss steel , ss stl , ect .
Have fun !!!
