CMR Luger Rig from England.?

Rick W. · 06-13-2011, 01:52 PM

I have seen one example of the CMR leather for a Luger, not mine. It was not the cats, but was fine for the money. Plenty durable, some would say fair to good value for the money spent.

With originals priced at collectors numbers, most holsters/stocks are out of reach of most. Lots of funny money in some of these for lots of reasons, but not into such FM discussions anymore.

Are they as good as the originals? probably not to some; but to some will fill their needs for money they can expend. I have seen $500+++ Luger holsters made up(7 shot type) that is hard to see the value myself, but to others tis fine. No real problem with that.

The board stock I believe comes with oversized iron, just because of the need to be fitted to a hand built pistol. I seem to recall that the Lugers were all handbuilt/fitted/tuned. One would wonder about originals being traded about, and the relative fit on various pieces. My Artillery wood, numbered etc(wow for me huh) does not fit on any other Luger that I own. Just a single example, not a true trial by any means. I think if I would buy an iron/wood for a Luger or Navy, it would have to be oversized for my fitting; or physically tried on said piece. Ever try to buy vintage or new piece parts for the iron? Never have, never hope to. Fitting an iron is not rocket science or overly difficult.

All in all, I cannot harp on the CMR offerings; I cannot make such for their prices, is there another source other than super expensive originals? One gets what they pay for, but there is always another side of the coin to consider such as basic requirement definitions for ones own needs/atmosphere.

The Odin Navy stock and the Odin Artillery stock that were made about 30 years ago fit very nice but are hard to find
now. The iron on them went on with very little fitting.
That has been what I have found. I think they were made in Spain.
Thanks George

++1 for the Odin stocks. I found one after purchasing the CMR rig (it fit great ) and selling the CMR stock quickly. I actually talked to Mr. Roscoe when I ordered mine and asked if he could actually put an LP 08 in the holster he sent me, as the Paki one I got from Sarco was laughably tight and I was lucky I was able to get my mag back out of their pouch without plier damage. Mr. Roscoe made a comment that suggested that his leather was being made by a company whose roots were experienced with ... ??? Anyhow, one thing I've found is if your stock is a bit loose, cut a slice of a business card the width of the lug and insert it between the stock and the pistol upon mating. It will make ALOT of difference and will stay inplace if you make it longer so there are little tabs to be bent over the stock iron. YMMV Joe
