Receiver Measurements

[sheepherder]

I have several 1" micrometers (well, who doesn't? ) but I prefer the dial verniers...they're easier to use...

If anyone is going to make up a database for these measurements, I'll do a better job with my 5...Serial # link to measurements at least...and measure 5 times & take the average...

Now...Why would anyone grind anything off the chamber hood??? I thought the idea of faking was to *add* characters to the receiver...crossed rifle, skull & bones, any date to a commercial...

What would you grind off??? A year date??? Why???

I don't think whipping out a mic at a gun show and measuring a Luger is a good idea...It's sure to get ugly...and will draw a crowd like blood draws sharks...Even if the guy you're talking to is agreeable, the guy two tables over with a boosted Luger will complain about it...
