TargetLuger project

[Spuhr]

Ok, first so you understand.
I run a company that makes lots of advanced firearms stuff.
Scopemounts, grenadelauncher sights, upgrade kits for G36, HK417 etc.
you can see the company here: www.spuhr.com

That company takes all my time and therefor I am not interested to sell my by the hours.
All my work done today is not done by the hour, but instead a development of new products.
So I do simply not have the time to make oneoff projects like this for customers.

If I should make a batch of 10-20 reartoggles like this one they would likely end up costing some 2000 USD each, and the making of single pieces is almost impossible.
2000 dollars are in my opinion a very high price.

Adjusting luger triggerpulls aint difficult, not at all.
But it's required that the gunsmith have a Tig welder and a toolgrinding machine or worst case scenario a milling machine.
I have no secrets so if someone wanna do it, just ask and I tell you how it's done.

I don't mean to tell you your business, but based on what I see elsewhere, you could easily sell a batch of 20 target Lugers built to the standards you have maintained, for over $5K apiece. Notwithstanding your opportunity costs, making high grade firearms would be a step up from the production of their accessories.

$5K for a target Luger sounds awfully low...

...Just sayin'...

As I said, Herbert Werle will deliver you a custom Luger assembled from Mauser components complemented by his custom parts for under $3,000.00. Håkan's model is a bit more complicated, but not by that much.

I see that on Werle's preisliste...

P 08, 04-14 Marine version, caliber 9 mm Luger 2.519, - € [~$3272]

P 08, Standard 9 mm Luger Luger/.30 1.943 [~$2523]

Do you have a target Luger made by Werle??? I for one would love to see pics...

I believe you have researched this before...Can you share any insights??? Customs duty, importer charges, shipping charges from Germany, etc...

I have a second-hand 6" Werle custom Luger coming in. My only target Lugers are W+F National Match guns. I'm not a big fan of fancy adjustable sights on autopistols.

In the past, I was a fan of Bo-Mar Combat Sights on 1911 style pistols; now I just rely on a Colt GCNM. Once initially dialed in, I never made any more changes, so the special milling of the slide for the BMCS and fitting a higher front sight was largely a cosmetic modification (I could have done the same with solid sights). But it looked cool, and all the kids were doing it...

I had read your import tutorial, and noted the 'pay through the nose' note. Hopefully, that has improved.

I look forward to pictures of your Werle Luger!!!
