Let's hope Ed's carbine turns out as nice!

...Next year...

Isn't that a silver-solder line from adding/replacing the stock lug? The body (frame + barrel extension) of the pistol looks extra-blue in the pics, compared to the barrel and the attaching hdwe. on the stock, almost like fire-blued. Just curious...

I figure that Eugene cranks out these Luger carbines kind of like the Luger firing animation on the main page of this site...Ed's carbine is down at the bottom of the 'magazine'; Eugene will sell off another carbine on GB, then another on Gunrunner, and two more, and one final one, then Ed's slot should pop up, and Eugene can get started on it...

I think Eugene said earlier in this thread he had five to finish by Xmas...$3500 isn't a bad price...

What am I missing,
the auction says Original Luger carbine, is it is or is it ain't?

Original, in this context, actually means it's NOT a carbine converted from a pistol. The raw material was a carbine, refurbished. Since the raw material is more expensive, the end product is also relatively more expensive.

Probably he did not make much from this though.

Is this apparent from the pictures in the auction?

I am totally ignorant of Luger carbines and would have thought they all started from a pistol frame, with the exception of the barrel.

I was just informed, by a usually reliable source, that Eugene Golubtsov has decided to give up on Ed Tinkers carbine and send all Ed's parts back...

This is disappointing news...For Ed, I mean...I gave up on Eugene over a year ago...
