How much would it cost to make a Luger today? - Page 2

Not enough people would buy them to make it feasible from an economic standpoint. It is true that Luger prices today are a relative bargain based on this assumption. In addition, one gets a historical pedigree of sorts.

In a few years it will be able to print them in 3d. That should cut the costs a bit

And proper hardening of important areas. (the Stainless Mitchell/Stoeger/Aimco/etc.. ones).

Mauser never made money on the regular models, but ended with a small profit overall with the money they made on their commemorative series.

Mauser's production costs were actually quite good. The problem was that a new pistol cost about 225 - 250 USD and a good surplus Luger could be picked up for 50... Guess what people bought
