Eugene gave me a choice of stock forearms (stock will be from same piece of wood).

He had one stock set left 2 months ago and the main stock cracked as it dried. He could fix it or he could have new ones made (which was scheduled with a guy this month).

Hoping to be shooting by Christmas

same picture, but the ones with an arrow are the ones I selected.

At this point, I just want them to match fairly well

but each of these forearms are supposed to be cut from the matching wood for the stock, so they should match....

I just want it done.

While browsing through old forum posts, I came across this illuminating 2005 thread about Eugene...

http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=12411

Most enlightening...

The site is back

Through viewing his restoration work, it's obvious that C&R is very domain oriented. For the guns that I don't know, looking at his work, I cannot tell that's restored, because I don't know what an original one should look like. For example:

http://www.lugerman.com/Pages/SamplePages/Work_23.html

Looks good? Well, that depends on how an original one in similar condition should look like. No comparison. No idea. Is this British...

Internet not only helps collectors, also helps restorers. 20-shot conehammer restored by Gale Morgan in 1980s appeared in auction. Of course, much better done. But have obvious errors. Surprise. Why? Probably not because he intentionally left a few holes there.. most likely, no enough information in 1980s.

I would say anyone who can not tell if something is original or restored should only buy from a reputable dealer.

True. Reputable dealer is a great starting point. I bought my first C96 from Simpson, learned lots of things from it. Sold long time ago, but it's a good one. Also got another one from FGS, FGS was expensive,,,,much more expensive, but it's a good one, too. Initially, I thought I spent too much on it, but the price was raising over years, it's sold easily later.

Edward Tinker · 01-11-2015, 01:20 AM

Stock and forearm are done.
I drove down to Bensalem area, which is close, really close to Eugene...

Just waiting....

this thread is a piece of work itself............don't ever let it get deleted......tom

Same amount of time it took George Luger to design his masterpiece. Question is: will it work?

But that's great news!!!

Not about the carbine...but that Ed hasn't been charged with Eugene's murder!!!

...Yet...

Vlim · 04-16-2015, 02:36 PM

They built complete airports and cities in less than 2.5 years

Ed's patience during this build is very good. Eugene deserves the name 'captain Slow'

cirelaw · 04-16-2015, 03:06 PM

I would ask him for a few photos of his progress to date. Even kidnapers will send a picture that your victims' status and is alive with some progress!! Ed you have the patience of a saint. I pray its not St. Jude. The patron saint of 'lost causes' ~ Eric
