So...gotta ask...are new Lugers being produced? The workmanship is superb, so I expect that they are too expensive to produce today. But given the advances with CNC it seems like the old designs would be a snap to reproduce. Hand fitting would still be needed on some parts, but certainly the milling portions are easier now than ever.

I have a buddy with a Luger in .22 lr. Its a neat gun and would make a nice addition if it were available.

I, personally, know of no Lugers being produced currently. There have been some limited factory produced Lugers in the 1990 and maybe even the 2000s, but they are VERY expensive, and rare to find.

Thanks for setting me straight on the 5 digit serial number commercials, Douglas Jr. Guess I have to get some more up-to-date books!
