Ted Green's (aka Thor) work

I posted an earlier message (Tired Ole Thing Part II) about some work Ted did for me in restoring a Russian rework luger. I took more time last night to carefully inspect his work and want to again recommend him to anyone that has a luger that needs a facelift. Ted has really transformed this luger into "like new" condition. I plan to send him a P-38 next week to "renovate" for me.


Kudos to Ted and the great work he does.

Thanks a lot Keith, it is fun doing business with such an enthusiastic client! The P.38 are a very interesting pistol and I am enjoying learning more and more about them.

I put a trapper spring kit in Lonnie's P.38 and it seem to help the trigger a lot. A different hammer spring, sear spring and xtra power springs. Lonnies gun was set up for a moderate strong, what I would consider almost a +p load in reference to modern day loadings but I suspect just about right. It definetly felt substantial when firing.

The loading was a 124 gr FMJ at around 1200 fps which is around a 400 ft-lb energy load. I was surprised that this load actually fully functioned the gun with the xtra power springs, I had initally anticipated that the springs would be TOO much, but they now appear to be just right. I am doing a P.38 redo for myself, they are really cool guns too. I have been carrying one daily for about a month now. ~Thor~

Fine craftsmanship is always a joy to behold, and we are so lucky to have Ted as a member of this forum. His skill and expertise adds immeasurably to the forum, and the quality and care of his reworks is exemplary. We are very proud to have Thor in our midst.
