Can a complete Luger be built from 'new' parts?

Jasta2 · 11-30-2009, 12:32 PM

I was reviewing the links page of the forum and looked at some Luger parts sites. I was surprized a the large amount of parts available. Are there enough 'new' parts out there to build a new Luger from scratch? If so, I take it would still be on the tough side seeing that fitting of these parts must be more exact than other firearms.
Thanks,Bill

Bill,

As far as I know, nobody is making 'new' frames yet. At least not for the spare parts business. There should still be a good supply of DDR and post war Mauser parts floating around.

Building a nice, functional 'Frankenluger' from used parts shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Bill, I believe that you would have a difficult time finding all new parts, certainly not in one place, to construct a luger from scratch. Even purchasing used original parts, one at a time, would drive the cost up to around $1,000 not including your labor, if you could do it. Th
