He did not say anything about 50 Lugers been enough for all the Luger collectors out there... And then again, if he is good business man, he may be trying to make me believe that's the case... to sell me some blue prints As far as 45 GAP luger conversion ... I do not see any big problems. After all we can surely go where others have gone before .. right ? I am not the same person I was 10 years ago, trying to build my first carbine ... Times have changed... i have machines that i did not dare to dream about 10 years ago... Maybe pocket change for some... but a gold mine for others All and all 45 GAP is coming ... soon.

Hi Lugerman ,
thanks for your efforts for the 45 gap conversion and best of luck to you and thanks for initiation of new discussions here on the forum re replica lugers the discussed price point of $3K for 45 gap - does that include the donor luger ? my interest is in custom target lugers like with heavier barrels and adjustable windage only rear sight welded or soldered onto the rear toggle and then the elevation adjustment in front sight would you be interested in 45 gap or 9mm/30 luger target luger project ? thanks Bill |

Sure, custom projects are always fun. We can do artillery style adjustments for elevation on the rear sight and left to right on the front . I can build a custom toggle if need be. I have seen old English conversions for target Lugers done that way, always wanted to do one like it. 45 GAP conversion will cost 2.5K with your donor. Or 3K with my donor. Simple math... If interested email me , we can talk in more detail. Thanks.

But a Carbine rear sight on the barrel with added elevation adjustment screw like on artillery guns, with a front sight like artillery or carbine post with left to right adjustment , may be an ultimate target Luger. For flatter trajectory, it can be done in 30 Luger, or to be used for longer range in 357 Sig maybe ?

Exotic sight could go crazy. Hard to believe, but it's fact.

I am only interested in custom-made Borchardt, not Luger, but I am curious if you have access to CNC workstation...and do solid model blueprint conversions...
I was hoping tennbill2 was into that and was going to make a small run of Borchardts...but that has not happened... Over in CNCGuns Forum there are people who can take blueprint/engineering drawing and turn it into solid model for CNC workstation...

DIY is fashionable now. I subscribed to Yahoo C96 forum, and noticed nowadays people are playing "drawings", "reverse engineering", "CNC", "AutoCAD", etc, etc.
For Borchardt, DIY makes more sense. Even a Borchardt in poor condition (hard to find) costs a lot. For regular Luger and C96 ?? I doubt it. |

#2
Some (a lot of) years ago, my dad and I traveled to Columbus, OH to the gun show. Sid Aberman had a table, and #2 was lying right in front of me.
Mr. Aberman was talking to someone, and I didn't want to bother him anyway. I did take the liberty of very carefully extending the nail of my forefinger to barely touch this artifact on the grip. He must have noted the care I took to not actually touch it with my finger as he didn't say a word. (Which I was actually expecting, ready to pull my finger back.) I know, if everyone did that... But what a thrill, to have seen, and touched this pistol. |

A very interesting and unique pistol. Obviously a One-OFF or prototype pistol. Quite a lot of work to create such a gun from scratch without blueprints. While not dimensionally exact to the original, it still could play a Luger on TV! ... I kinda like it! I wonder who bought it?
