Modification of a Standard Upper to .22

[John Sabato]

This thread will provide some insight of the amount of work involved in making permanent modifications to a Luger upper to convert it to .22 Long Rifle caliber.

This is not a project for the faint of heart, or for people whose engineering knowledge is challenged. This is a permanent alteration of a Luger with virtually no return to the original configuration.

This type of major modification should only be done on mismatched parts Lugers.

This thread was inspired by an upper assembly that was originally purchased by Ed Tinker some time ago in the condition in which it is presented in these photos, and hopefully with time, it will include the continued attempt to make this one of a kind assembly a completed project.

Here are the photos that Ed posted in this thread...

My thanks to Ed Tinker for sending me this upper for this study.


...more to come... stay tuned.
