And pics of the final assembled Gonzo Luger carbine -
I have some 7.65 Parabellum cartridges loaded up and hope to shoot off a few rounds in a week or so.
BTW, I would be remiss if I did not credit Charles Danner with the refinishing of all parts of this handgun. Charles draw files, sands, and re-cuts any lettering/numbers as well as any logos that may be diminished by the metal removal. He then rust blues and straws the parts. Great job!
