Navy Luger build - from scratch to finish

Guys:

Thanks for the compliments on the gun. To answer John's question about how it shoots - it is a tack driver. Before I refinished the gun, I put it all together and tested it out completely. I had to shorten the recoil spring a couple of turns in order for my reloads to feed, but other than that, it went together well and shoots well. This is definitely a better option than having an original for shooting. As a side note, I did not serial number the barrel as well as the Navy toggle to insure that this one never gets confused with an original.
