Good Evening,
I am located in canada, and due to our stupid gun laws It it almost impossible to get a luger as most of the barrels on lugers appear to be below the canadian legal limit of 104mm. now that being said i am learning machining and own a lathe, i have access to some 9mm barrel blanks and would like to try my hand at making a 5" luger Barrel ( Practicing on scrap pieces first of course ) does any one know where i could find/obtain detailed drawings or blueprints of a luger barrel?? threading info, profiling ect..ect.. Regards, Z |

Thanks for the recommendation Postino...
zombiedfens ---just send me a Private Message and I will send you information on ordering the CD. The barrel blueprint has all you will need to know for creating a Luger barrel with the appropriate contours and threads. I am a hobby machinist myself. In the event you are unaware of its existence, there are two really good machinist forums that I am sure you will find great ideas and reading pleasure. http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/index.php http://www.practicalmachinist.com/ Enjoy...

I did a pictorial of a fantasy artillery barrel a year or so ago, showing the steps of the machining process...It's here somewhere... Heh, heh - it was my first post, so easy to track down... ![]() http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=21048 I'm told there are other re-barreling/fabricating threads in the Archives here, but I don't know who posted them or the titles (you'll notice my title has nothing to do with machining) so i was never able to Search for them... ![]() BTW: Harvey Tool makes a 40º x 3/16" dovetail cutter that should work well for cutting a dovetail for OEM Luger/Walther front sight bases... http://www.harveytool.com/products/p...&category_id=1

![]() That is exactly what I do...And then use an undersized dovetail cutter (3/16" in the case of Luger/Walther) and conventional mill the first side (there will be a bit of climb milling on the other side, but this is pretty much unavoidable with a dovetail cutter) and then conventional mill the other side...Using only the sides of the dovetail cutter to actually cut (the bottom is already cut with the end mill)... I just ordered Harvey's 40º x 3/16" dovetail cutter... ![]()
