Trigger Tuning

Geo99 · 12-26-2013, 05:11 PM

Here is an interesting old article I came across about tuning the trigger action of Lugers. Sorry I can't get just the article to post, I have to give you the link to the whole magazine. The article starts on page 22.

Wow! Really not much useful information on trigger tuning, but read the WHOLE magazine! Interesting the author claims he saw a .45 Luger example in Berlin...hmmmmm. Great stuff....of course the prices seem amazing, 20 bucks for a Mannlicher and 40 bucks for a Broomhandle, but inflation has to be taken into account. What struck me was just the straightforwardness of the ads, the honest enthusiasm for firearms, the quality products. Some may disagree, but that was a better America, back then. And i was only 3 years old at the time

Yes, I did like looking at the ads and I'm amazed at the prices too - I think $2-3/hour was a decent working man's wage in 1960. Still I think the guns were cheaper and certainly much more available back then. It was before the first real gun control laws that affect us so much were enacted in 1968, which then started us on the downhill slippery slope.

Sometimes I think I was born too late,
