Latest "re-build" project - A 1906 type frame based shooter

[DonVoigt]

I recently acquired a batch of "parts" included were three frames and an upper, and a few other parts.

Not being able to leave parts "un-assembled"; I had to build the frame into a shootable luger.

The 1906 type frame uses a grip safety, thus requiring different parts from a P 08 re-build.

Thanks to a friend, I was able to get a repaired grip safety and fit it, which was the "key" piece needed. Of course the left grip is special also, being cut out for the grip safety.

I decided to build the '06 in 9mm rather than the usually encountered 7,65mm. I really wanted a 9mm "fat barrel" but so far have not been able to find one. I've researched the frame and as best I can discern it is from the Brazilian(Thanks Ron) contract; could be wrong - but with the features and a serial number of 183 it was the only combination that fit. The frame and saftey are in the original "Up safe" configuration.

Test fired last week, just fine; but I still need a hold open to complete the build.

Frame was "in the white" and bead blasted to begin with; as you can see in the earlier pictures. Later I blued it as you can see.
