1917 DWM Luger with a bent frame

Thanks for the replies. When I have enough time maybe I can fix this mess.

In response to your question, I live in Atlanta, Georgia. Any hands on help would be greatly appreciated as I am somewhat of an idiot when it comes to repairing stuff. If any of you are certain you can repair it, let me know what you would charge, and I will send it off to you.

Thanks Again,
Eddie

Hi Ed, this has a very simple solution... I've removed a ton of dents,..and here is what i would do... place either side on solid plates or blocks of aluminum.. sandwich the frame between another block or plate of aluminum, and beat the **** out of it... it will let go with no damage to anything... you just have to upset the dent to remove the receiver... a thousands or two will set you free... best to you...til...lat'r...GT
