Opinions on this carbine please..

I'm not an expert, especially on carbine lugers, just for your reference the one pictured below not long ago was sold here for almost 19,000 $ although the stock is not matching.

The carbine mentioned in post#18 brought a crazy price IMO. The stock is not an original carbine, looks made of pine and totally aftermarket. That stock would shave 5-8000 IMO.

The original post..while my estimate of $1200 might seem generous..it could be very difficult to re create this long barreled carbine for much less?

I think that would depend on how much the 'smith' valued his time. The forearm attaching piece is radically different from a Luger carbine but is obviously easier to make. The frame attachment pieces are also, compared to an OEM stock lug, easier to make. Whoever made it did not copy an existing Luger carbine but they did a creditable job. Not masterful, but not totally 'bubba' either. I didn't notice until now that it had a fitted box - That would bump up the price.

Not enough pics to tell what the rear/barrel sight is.

A gun show would be the perfect place to sell it. To a new enthusiast.
