I've never tried this on a Luger base, but I'd try it if someone would send me one to experiment on. Works well on butt plates on rifles, ect. So experiment first. Find a plastic with the color that matches the the item needing repair, a softer type if possible. Then cut it up in very small pieces. Put it in a blender and shred to as small as possible. Mix up a good epoxy, stir it up in a small container being very heavy on the plastic side , then use a popsicle stick to apply to busted area, leaving a whole lot of excess. Don't even try to shape it, jut slop it on. Then let dry for several days. Next step is to take a dremel tool and shape it using which ever attachment that works best the way you want it. Then polyurethane it. I've had a few excellent results and lots of adequate presentable ones.
Fixed a lot of butt plates that way. Isn't this considered "boosting" ?
