Welcome back to the Lugerforum Håkan... please edit your posts and upload your photos directly to the Lugerforum, instead of linking them from another website ... some employers, including my own, filter photographs from social networking sites so I can not see your photos, and I am sure many others will have the same problem.

Spuhr:
It really blows my mind how precise, complicated and beautiful your machine work is. Of course, your design work is also premier. Please keep us posted--I am truly fascinated with your project and its execution. Thanks.

We try it from the beginning then.
I really like the Luger as a targetpistol, but the gun is to light and I needed to make another solution for the rear toggle. So first is here the turning and chambering of the barre. |

I really wanted an adjustable sight, and previously I have seen that no adjustable sights really seems to survive the violence on the rear toggle in the long run.
So here is the new manufacured toggle. Starting with a piece of Uddeholm Calmax steel hardened to 50 HRC. Hardening is done in a furnace in 960 degrees celcius. |

This luger was a bit sloppy so I pressed it a bit tighter in the vise. To not overpress it I placed some gaugeblocks in the frame.

Triggerpull.
Many lugers have their triggerpulls destroyed by wrong adjustments. So I usally weld up the sear and the firing pin with hardened steel and blueprint them to specifications. |

Some triggerpins fits rather poorly, so I decided to change the fit of it.

The frame with it's stocklug is much nicer if the stocklugg is removed. So here is the stocklugg removed and welded shut.
Frame gets 30 lpi checkering on both front and rear strap. |

I needed to drill a couple of holes in the rear toggle, and as it's very hard my HSS drills wouldent do it.
So I made some simple cannondrills and that worked rather well. |

I do personally not prefer perfect "like break a bar of glass"style triggerpulls.
I need them more rubberstyle. Therefor I welded an extra "hump" on the connector and that helps me giving the "rubberband" feeling. |

Here is the result so far.
The competition pictures is with my luger before the restoration, possible some 10-15 years ago. |
