Wife’s luger project....
Started this a few years ago as my wife wanted a heavyer targetluger like the one I use but a tad lighter.
She was requesting a round barrel. Barrel is made in one piece including the front sight base. Front sight base will later contain a elevation adjustable front sight. Gun is built on scrap, no nice collectible matching museumpiece have lost its life here! |

Next step is the making of a rear toggle with integral vindage adjustable rear sight.
Material is Swedish Uddeholm Calmax toolsteel That is really good against shock. |

Grips are made of stabilized hippo jawbone.
Of her choise. I have the drawings but I had to tweak it considerably to get it to work. So several pairs of wooden grips was made prior to those |

Lugers can get an awesome triggerpull and in some cases the play betwen pin and frame is really annoying.
Here is the two methods I have used to minimize the play. Either replace pin and silversolder on a new pin or turning down pin and tinsolder on a sleeve. |

Envy and lust are not commendable traits, but unfortunately that is my current situation. What lovely work.
