Mine. though I sourced the barrel and sights from Eugene and copied the extension from one of his blanks that he also supplied, since I ended up wanting a longer one to use with my longer forend and to fabricate one was easy having his to use as a basic pattern to begin with.
Incidentally, as you can see from the straight pin, installation of latch and associated spring no different than with an unmodified frame, albeit requiring a bit more finger dexterity. |

Do we have a pic of your carbine here somewhere??? Quote:
If I could suggest...Start a new thread detailing your work as you progress. If you post the pics to an album you can post remarks and link the pics as you go along. (Albums are located in your User Profile; if you need help, shoot me a PM). Fabrication threads are cool. I have a couple here, but as quite a few of my recent projects are making carbines out of 'bubba-ized' military rifles, they're not appropriate for a Luger forum.

Regretably, I have encountered some repro springs that look more authentic before you put them in, but have a half life of about 3 take downs before they flatten and/or break. Real Cracker Jack stuff and NOS prices, too. Don't know what the story in on the pedaled by Sarco lately? Anybody have any idea?

I haven't had any problems with my old Lugers and haven't heard any comments of that nature from the masses of Luger owners.
thanks Jack |

IIRC, it was Tom Heller who fixed me up with a genuine Luger takedown lever spring, and Alvin was able to get me a C96 sear spring.

I think his normal practice is to have a batch done just b/4 Christmas. Shopping money, I suppose.
Who knows about Eugene? He has his own agenda and it changes; mostly with delays. Send me a p.m. if you want more details. Jack |

oh good - I really want to finish the step by step we started (and thus my carbine getting done)
Maybe a new $100 bill would help speed along on delivery lol (as I am all paid up via cash and parts last spring) |

Hey Rich! Quit deleting your posts... they are part of the conversation... unless you said something you are ashamed of, all you are doing is creating holes in the message thread...
Thanks.

I don't mean to be a party pooper...
Every time I see this thread highlighted for this section, I click to the last post to find out whether Ed's carbine has arrived! I hope I share some of his anxiety and curiosity about how this project turns out, and am eager to hear the news that it's arrived and looks fantastic. And then some juicy pics to gorge upon! But... Every time seems to be something else. I usually don't mind a ramblin' thread, and am likely guilty of plummeting off-topic, myself, but the continuing, fine contributions to this one are beginning to strike me as a bit of a tease! Only this particular thread seems frustrating to me in this way. I am, by no means, advocating a tightening up of post-to-topic, rather, asking special dispensation for this one only. This will be my last post in this chain until either Ed announces the baby's arrival, or Eugene gives us an update--the latter unnecessary, I hope! David Parker

Eugene will come through for Ed...and the thread...just a question of when, not if.
Speaking for myself, seems to be a seasonal disease out there called "carbine project inertia"....I haven't done a thing on mine since mid-October! But, then, I only have me and myself (and Angelgard) to answer to, since in my case such projects are merely a (perverted?) form of personal entertainment and I can afford the luxury of marching to my own drummer and dealing with them at whim. |
