Was There Ever A Lahti Carbine???

I was thinking of that; or maybe an Inglis Hi-Power stock holster. Someone here once mentioned that the grip-frame stock lug was the same as the Luger. The curve looks right but the cut for the lock is in a different place...

I once tried to make a C96 stock/holster. Pieces of the hardwood still lying on my scrap shelf. I'm not a woodworker.

I think a flat board stock like the artillery Luger stock is best. The wooden stock/holster would be too long...I could modify the Luger rig easier...

But of course it's the steel that attracts me. If I can find another Luger artillery rear sight I might take a stab at an 'artillery' Lahti...

I like the look of the 'Lahti carbine' but I am loathe to cut/braze a frame...
