Fantasy Unit Armorers Kit

Edward Tinker · 03-06-2011, 03:42 PM

Several months ago I talked to Kris Antczak korona45@yahoo.com about a unit armorers chest. Real ones, if full, cost in the $10,000's of thousands of dollars. I have met a couple of folks who own/owned them and 10k years ago was the amount related to me.

There is a chest in Joop and Don's newest book and this was what got me thinking. But the more I thought about it, I decided I was a pistol guy and so much of an armorers kit was K98's. Which I know nothing about.

So, the decision was made to go with pistols. I did not always explain myself well and since we were doing this over the internet, it took a while.

There was an incredible amount of detail work involved, routing, hand sanding, finishing and well, more than I expected, but here is the finished work. The props are his, so although primarily a luger project, it will have P38 parts and PPK parts in it.
It turned out far cooler than I thought it would !!
