Kansas City Area Smith?

Unfortunately Tom appears to be three hours from my home. I guess I could mail him the upper assembly but I would rather avoid doing that.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

well, you're going to have trouble finding a smith who knows lugers - its simply not a gun that they see every day, week or month in my opinion. I think just finding someone who works on S&W or colts is a lot harder than it used to be

Mailing an upper is like $7 one way, a lot easier than finding someone who is guessing what should be done.

I don't know how many folks on this forum have left off a Luger with a "gunsmith" that said he was familiar with Lugers, only to get back a disastrous(read:expensive)mess. I have been there and done that.

You are $$$ ahead to use someone that DOES know about Lugers and has worked on them for years....plus has parts available. A three hour drive is a "piece of cake"!!! I have done it many times to take 1911s and BHPs to a true expert on said guns. Make a day trip and do something fun along the way.
