Beautiful work! Very inspiring to, when I looked at the pictures I wanted to run over to the machine shop and have some blanks EDM cut, invest in more equipment, hone my machining skills and try something similar. Then I woke up...

Hakan,
it seems like there would be a limited market for similiar modified lugers in USA - especially in the luger forum member group or perhaps a target parts set - your awesome barrel + rear toggle + trigger bar + thumb safety + etc are you able to offer these target version lugers to any of the usa importers ? like Simpsons LTD etc ? perhaps the Mauser lugers made in the 197x years could be a source for the donor Lugers since they already have the rear frame solid without any lanyard recess or stock lug and are commercial originally again , awesome product !!! thanks Bill |

What would your price be for the rear toggle with the adjustable target sight?

Like your way of approaching the problem. Very nice # of solutions you come up with there.
I am working presently on safety lever extensions batch for P210. Machining is labor of love for me. It has to be right to be right. Right? Thanks for sharing with us. |

Nope, I don't think it's feasable at all to make those for sale.
They will be extremely expensive....... SigP2101 I have welded an insane amount of cracked P210 pistols over the years.... Also made beavertails (welded) and other things to the P210s..... But those days as well as the Luger jobs for the public are since long gone..... |

But definitely you gave me an itch to do something with my P08 shooter. Last edited by SIGP2101; 05-30-2013 at 12:27 PM. |

Spuhr, Please define extremely expensive. The audience here are Luger collectors and most are anything but paupers. I have wanted adjustable sights and an improved trigger for serious range work but no one does this type of conversion anymore. So, where do you reside and are you game for some contract work? MR

Ok, first so you understand.
I run a company that makes lots of advanced firearms stuff. Scopemounts, grenadelauncher sights, upgrade kits for G36, HK417 etc. you can see the company here: www.spuhr.com That company takes all my time and therefor I am not interested to sell my by the hours. All my work done today is not done by the hour, but instead a development of new products. So I do simply not have the time to make oneoff projects like this for customers. If I should make a batch of 10-20 reartoggles like this one they would likely end up costing some 2000 USD each, and the making of single pieces is almost impossible. 2000 dollars are in my opinion a very high price. Adjusting luger triggerpulls aint difficult, not at all. But it's required that the gunsmith have a Tig welder and a toolgrinding machine or worst case scenario a milling machine. I have no secrets so if someone wanna do it, just ask and I tell you how it's done. |

I can't purport to speak for Håkan, but based on my studies, cracked frames in the P210 strongly correlate with the availability of the likes of Swedish Bofors m/39B ammunition, which are not to be found in the North American consumer market.

I don't mean to tell you your business, but based on what I see elsewhere, you could easily sell a batch of 20 target Lugers built to the standards you have maintained, for over $5K apiece. Notwithstanding your opportunity costs, making high grade firearms would be a step up from the production of their accessories.

As I said, Herbert Werle will deliver you a custom Luger assembled from Mauser components complemented by his custom parts for under $3,000.00. Håkan's model is a bit more complicated, but not by that much.

I heard there is a breath-taking new technology called "3D Printing". Don't know what it is, but someone has already used it to create sample shootable pistol (according to Yahoo News).
Can it be applied on Luger to tremendously reduce production cost?? |

I had read your import tutorial, and noted the 'pay through the nose' note. Hopefully, that has improved. I look forward to pictures of your Werle Luger!!!
