I only own 1 luger (a shooter and a darn good one at that), but lately I have been getting a funny image in my head, a crazy idea if you will, it sort of goes like this!!
I want a 8 inch barrel length luger with a scope on it!!!!!!!!! I know!! you guys think im probably crazy, but the luger has outstanding accuracy and great ergonomics, why not couple that with some state of the art opticts and make a tack driving target demon!!!! as I call it. So since im a novice in the luger knowledge area I want to know if this has been done before and get a little feedback about this idea. I would really like to take this kind of rig to the range and show them 1911 guys a few things. So what does everyone think!! Can this be done?? Should it be done?? or should I seek counseling!!!

Beamer; I have tried this, but after you get all the gear on the barrel, the action won"t cycle because of the added weight. I do have one that shoots better than anyone would believe (except sight on it. I made a mount that fits in the military dovetails, but have had trouble with it shooting loose, so am still working on the problem. I also have a Broomhandle Mauser with a 4x power scope on it that shoots better than the Luger. It is in .30 Mauser.

I see that some of my words dissapeared in the above message. Should have read except Dwight Gruber and Rick Wagner and that I used the Dr. Sight, only about one and a half ounces. GREAT with a shoulder stock!!!

Why not add a flame thrower and grenade launcher while you are at it!
![]() Just kidding! Navy Lugers with 6" barrel shoot VERY GOOD for having only open sights. Waffen Werle does some exotic things with Luger pistols! ![]()

Lonnie's Doctor Sight is quite a gadget. Anybody who is getting tired of fighting with the Luger's silly regular sights ought to give it a look.

Rick; you need to fabricate one of these mounts as I am having trouble keeping mine tight.

Lonnie,
Use setscrews with loctite... give the mixture a day to set and it shouldn't loosen. How about a photo of your mount?

John; Loctite has not held it so far. I don"t have photo skills, and am lucky I can even do this.

Lonnie,
It isn't that hard... find a friend with a scanner connected to their computer... or a digital camera... If they have any knowledge at all of images they can help. (and you might even spark their interest in Lugers in the process).
