Recently purchased this original German Snail Drum Unloader from a member of this forum. It's not much bigger than the B/N Loading Tool you usually see and it is a lot more fun. Thanks Jim !! Joe & Ruth

Nice drum and baby luger.

Can you take a pic of the big ball of fire that your unloader makes when unloading???

Nice,

With a few modifications you can turn it into an automatic unloader

Vlim, Hello! As I am a racing engine machinist now working for a Mercedes restorer specializing in 50's era 300SLs, I understand that the Germans usually have a very different way for achieving the same ends as others. Usually very artistically over-engineered. And if you think Luger prices are high you would do well to hoard these parts. 1 injector nozzle, for example is worth $1800 (6 required for each 3 liter engine). I would think that a little massaging of the trigger lever and sear bar plunger would result in an automatic unloader. Is there any historical evidence of this actually having been practiced by people who used the Luger for combat? It sounds as if you may have some experience, what were the results? Please enthrall Me!! Joe
