Barrel Blocks & Receiver Wrench

Bob in AZ · 06-07-2002, 01:42 PM

I would like to make up a set of Luger barrel blocks and a receiver wrench. While at GT yesterday we were discussing what it would take to change a barrel on a Luger. I'm NOT looking to go in the business of changing barrels, just for my own guns. Well maybe a close friend in need.
Being a Toolmaker for some 20+ years I know I can make the tools to do this. The problem is I have never seen a actual set of barrel blocks and receiver wrench for a Luger. I realize most of these tools are hand made and probable vary somewhat.
I have a basic idea and would really appreciate hearing from those who have a set of these tools. (scan pics, dimentions, etc). I'm also very interested in how you protect the barrel in your blocks. If you feel like you are giving away your trade secrets please e-mail me. Again these tools are for my own use. I'm not looking to cut in on someone livelihood. I just like to do my own work and enjoy the challenge. We machinist type aren't happen unless we are making something....
