Welcome back to the Lugerforum Håkan... please edit your posts and upload your photos directly to the Lugerforum, instead of linking them from another website ... some employers, including my own, filter photographs from social networking sites so I can not see your photos, and I am sure many others will have the same problem.

Spuhr:
It really blows my mind how precise, complicated and beautiful your machine work is. Of course, your design work is also premier. Please keep us posted--I am truly fascinated with your project and its execution. Thanks.

Zorba · 05-20-2013, 01:27 PM

I'm impressed!

Spuhr · 05-20-2013, 01:35 PM

We try it from the beginning then.
I really like the Luger as a targetpistol, but the gun is to light and I needed to make another solution for the rear toggle.

So first is here the turning and chambering of the barre.

Spuhr · 05-20-2013, 01:39 PM

I really wanted an adjustable sight, and previously I have seen that no adjustable sights really seems to survive the violence on the rear toggle in the long run.
So here is the new manufacured toggle.
Starting with a piece of Uddeholm Calmax steel hardened to 50 HRC.
Hardening is done in a furnace in 960 degrees celcius.

This luger was a bit sloppy so I pressed it a bit tighter in the vise. To not overpress it I placed some gaugeblocks in the frame.

Spuhr · 05-20-2013, 01:45 PM

Triggerpull.
Many lugers have their triggerpulls destroyed by wrong adjustments.
So I usally weld up the sear and the firing pin with hardened steel and blueprint them to specifications.

Nice work!

sheepherder · 05-20-2013, 06:28 PM

Excellent!!!

Ron Wood · 05-20-2013, 07:42 PM

Oh my, oh my, oh my...that is just marvelous! Wow!

G.T. · 05-20-2013, 08:25 PM

Very nicely done, quite impressive! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT

lfid · 05-21-2013, 05:08 AM

awesome !!!

very creative and also artistic design

Olle · 05-21-2013, 10:25 AM

Beautiful work!

Very inspiring to, when I looked at the pictures I wanted to run over to the machine shop and have some blanks EDM cut, invest in more equipment, hone my machining skills and try something similar. Then I woke up...

Hakan,
it seems like there would be a limited market for similiar modified lugers in USA - especially in the luger forum member group

or perhaps a target parts set - your awesome barrel + rear toggle + trigger bar + thumb safety + etc

are you able to offer these target version lugers to any of the usa importers ? like Simpsons LTD etc ?

perhaps the Mauser lugers made in the 197x years could be a source for the donor Lugers
since they already have the rear frame solid without any lanyard recess or stock lug and are commercial originally

again , awesome product !!!

thanks
Bill

I second this motion. There is no shortage of wartime Mauser P08 Pistolen to serve as bases for a limited production run. The cost of the ensuing product might be estimated against comparable items. Thus Herbert Werle will deliver you a custom Luger assembled from Mauser components complemented by his custom parts for under $3,000.00, whereas Edgar Budischowsky's superb HSP701 would cost you around twice as much. Making guns from scratch is an expensive proposition.

marshombre · 05-23-2013, 10:28 PM

I would be interested in upgrading one of my pistols to this configuration. Please, drop me a line. MR

tain669 · 05-28-2013, 09:47 PM

What would your price be for the rear toggle with the adjustable target sight?

SIGP2101 · 05-29-2013, 11:03 AM

Like your way of approaching the problem. Very nice # of solutions you come up with there.
I am working presently on safety lever extensions batch for P210. Machining is labor of love for me. It has to be right to be right. Right?

Thanks for sharing with us.

Spuhr · 05-29-2013, 05:01 PM

Nope, I don't think it's feasable at all to make those for sale.
They will be extremely expensive.......

SigP2101
I have welded an insane amount of cracked P210 pistols over the years....
Also made beavertails (welded) and other things to the P210s.....
But those days as well as the Luger jobs for the public are since long gone.....
