Hi guys,

After finishing the Navy Luger and making the corrections you advised above I went on the hunt for the missing information I needed to complete the Artillery version (see attached screen grab). Getting this information took longer than expected so I started work on a P38, but that is a whole other story, suffice to say that I hate Mauser drawings!

The Artillery Luger is finished with the exception of the butt stock, which I will go into in a moment.

Although my models already have serial numbers I wondered if anyone would like to have their own pistol markings on either the Artillery or Naval Lugers? If you wish you can email me some detailed jpegs of the markings and where they are situated. Please note that both the front and rear sights of my Artillery version have fine screw adjustments for windage or elevation.

Now, the real reason for this post - I have run into an issue that I wonder if you can resolve for me. My latest set of drawings show that the butt stock and metal end cap are asymmetrical in thickness (23.15mm wide in total (I don't understand why two decimal places for a wooden gun stock?)), yet on a separate drawing the metal end cap is actually detailed as being 20mm thick and symmetrical (see attached screen grab).

A search of the internet did reveal some pictures of an asymmetric stock fitted with the symmetrical end cap, but I could only find them on Ebay, and I did not trust that as an accurate source.

Can anyone shed some light on this form me?, and if possible PM me with some decent photos of a genuine military issue stock?

Thanks for your help once again.

Regards,

Dave

You are correct. The gooseneck on the artillery buttstock is asymmetrical.
