That's *unmachined*???

That one is ripe for finishing...

You sure none of those holes are drilled??? If that's a casting, it's pretty close to being finished...if it's a forging, it's like 95% finished...

On a related note: Did the German mfg's machine from forgings, billets, or just plain steel slabs???

Default neat frame

Kinda neat just the way it is... If you ever want to sell it, let me know, I'd never finish it, but would really like to study it... ... BTW, I think Luger frames started out as a rough forging, receivers also..... as far as I know, all of them from early to late Mauser?? I'm sure, they could cast a 95% net finished frame today.. but it would REALLY cost'ya! best to all, til....lat'r....GT
