Luger Tooling Sets

All I can say is that, from my brief study of Colt tooling, "old" tooling does not hesitate to be very labor intensive. 100 years ago, labor was very cheap, tools expensive. Now the reverse is true. Using a ca 1910 tooling set to produce a firearm these days would probably be economically impossible.

Am "modern" Luger maker would therefor probably favor CNC and other computerized methods of manufacture.
