Caution for buying Luger Parts on eBay...

I say that because as a kid I broke the back sight off my MGC Model Gun MP40 and tried to glue it back onto the stamped steel receiver. After many attempts it was just a mess, so my Dad put the back sight into a pot of boiling water to try and remove the globs of glue. The entire sight melted into a blob of zinc! I had to order a new sight from MGC. I am convinced this frame is made of the same stuff.
