Making a .45 Luger

Krause makes them by hand and charges about 15K.

John Martz lugers are made by two seperate donor lugers and go for about $4 to $5 k. He is in his 80's and still doing buisness, although slowed waaay down, so I have heard...

I do not beleive making a 45 is for the faint of heart, it took John years to do so and make them function. He has to make magazines by hand, and the exactness must be amazing for them to function.

I personally want a Mart 45, but instead of making one, I'd buy one, but I am not an engineer
