The result is that the receiver is either proud of the frame by a noticeable bit, or tucked back into it the same amount, both of which look pretty goofy."

I would be very interested in seeing a side by side comparison of a mixed grip frame and upper assembly, versus an authentic, "normal" pistol. Lookg a t a photo of a given gun- I would not be able to tell whether it is a mixed bag or a matching gun. When viewing online photos of Lugers for possible purchase, I would like to discern the two. On the other hand, I would greatly prefer to buy from forum members....
It is pretty hard to do a side by side of two lugers with mixed up parts, as I don't have one of each.

But I do have a Navy long frame with long frame barrel on a short receiver(clear right!); it uses a breeching ring to get the long shank barrel to screw into the short thread receiver and line up correctly. The difference is about 1/10 of an inch and is very noticable if you find a "mis-match".

Here is the "mixed" Navy to show you what I mean.
