My experience with Eugene, the lugerman

[cirelaw]

Heres a few!

[CAP Black]

The lengths are displayed in several Luger variation books. I think it was 24, just from memory.

Thank You! Were barrels interchangeable?

[CAP Black]

I don't know much about the mechanics but I think the barrels are interchangeable as long as sticking with: short frame - short frame, etc.
At the shop they would machine the barrel to fit if need be. Hopefully, the pros will give us the real scoop.

Does the length and diameter of the barrel effect the size of the load!

[CAP Black]

Yes, he says to use Fiocchi loads to get good cycling; also to get good cycling to shoot with the stock attached. I fired 7 rounds before returning home. Noticed a small crack in the stock after the firing and returning home. Waiting to hear if the crack could be a stress fracture. Don't know of what to think of the crack. Didn't beat on it with a hammer - not at those prices, I assure you.

My way of thinking (and I am no engineer) is that if energy needs to be transferred to the stock, for good action, could the energy be excessive and show up in a piece of weak wood in the stock??

Awaiting word from Eugene.
It makes sense that longer barrels need more thrust to get velocity.

It bears notice that substantially reworked guns cease to qualify as Curios and Relics, and become subject to the NFA SBR registration provisions. In other words, a replica of the Luger carbine requires a $200 stamp for legal attachment of the shoulder stock.

Most modern carbine replicas, including those made by John Martz, have barrels of 16-inches or longer thus eliminating them from SBR restrictions and the $200 stamp. They are legal with a stock attached.

That is true, but they no longer qualify as Curios and Relics.

Should I assume this doesnt apply to our legit lugers? Is the stamp transferable?

Certain stocked handguns, such as original semiautomatic Mauser C96 "Broomhandles" and Luger carbines, Artilleries, Navies, Finnish 7.65 mm M/23 and 9 mm M/08 pistols, and American Eagles with the Ideal holster stock, have been removed from the purview of the NFA as collectors' items. [26 U.S.C. 5845, 27 CFR 479.11] The one-time transfer tax stamp must be purchased by each transferee.

[cirelaw]

Ron is it legal to shoot without the stock??? Would it be considered altered?

If you have an original and original or reproduction stock for a Navy or Artillery you may shoot them in both stocked and non stocked configuration. Bill

Very nice. He does some very good work.

Eugene is an excellent craftsman, but an average communicator. If you have a complete understanding prior to commitment, Eugene usually comes through.

Thanks for the USUALLY

Here are some pictures of that project posted by customers request.

Thanks.

Sorry, Eugene. Perhaps "eventually" would have been more appropriate. You cannot deny, however, that issues have existed in the past.

I may be in denial overall ...
But i do not deny i have communications and timing problem as well as delivery schedule problems, but who does not ?

I will go with "eventually" , i can deal with that;0)

Attached are some photos sent to me by Eugene. These were taken before he made the grips for my Luger. Obviously, his photography skills are beyond mine. It's a shame I can't get better photos myself because the grips he made and the fit of them to the pistol are perfect.
