We all care about you Ed. You are our family and a great friend. Our only concern is your happiness not matter how long it takes. Your carbine will be the cream of your collection. He does good work from what I've seen. I'm sure you are doing your best and so must he! I think all of us should lay off for a while and let things occur at their own pace as they will. We don't need updates except an update that its done I love mine and so will you.! Perfection is always worth the wait. At this length of time it better be perfect. Maybe we can start a raffle for a due date! My third grandchild expected in July. Just let us know when your pretty carbine arrives so we can finally put an end to all our wait! I hope it arrives sooner and not later! Ed you are a saint!and good friend for over ten years. Tks Eric

You know Ed, this has the makings of a good book, you could illustrate it with the photos, describe your increasing frustration, and, hopefully, it would have a happy ending. You could title it "Waiting for Eugene".
Best regards, Norm |

I'll chip in my two cents. Sent Eugene a C96 to restore, in September 2014. In April of this year, he sent me pics of my pistol, in the white, saying all needed work was done except the barrel. He was going to test fire it to see if it could be relined, or would need total replacement. Thats the last I've heard despite several emails that were never answered. I don't really mind waiting considering the expected quality of the end product, but I am concerned in general due to having never received a receipt for the gun. Neither of us is getting any younger, and if something should happen to him, I'm probably out my pistol and cash advance.

I don't know about you guys, but to me it looks like it's far from finished. How old did you say you were Ed? More to the point, how old is Eugene?
Regards, Norm |

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...

An interesting but unfortunate turn of events. I'm interested in the details, because I have always been an apologist for the Lugerman, because he always seemed to come thru, eventually.
