Bob, you didn't post a pic or link...and because of that, several here may have blown off this thread...
(I'm going to try to get appointed Ed Tinker's 'hatchet man' and really get serious about pic posting here)  In any event, can you tell me if an 'early' breechblock means one with a flat top, as opposed to the curved tops seen on P-08's??? What else differentiates an 'early' breechblock??? thankyouverymuch!!!  Edit: I lucked out...Found them on the first try...(Not everyone calls this item a 'breechblock')... drbecker (a name I recognize as a seller of Luger parts) has it...and they do have the flat tops...and use a different extractor (drbecker says)... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=227821252 I guess the next question is...can this breechblock (with its extractor & spring) be used on a later Luger???

 It also requires an early firing pin and forward toggle link. The projection on the toggle link that cams the firing pin into position for firing (can't use the "c" word!) is at a different angle than on a new model toggle. Also the cutout in the barrel/receiver for the extractor is different but it will work. The overall length of the toggle train is the same for both the old model and new model so you can get creative sometimes. I have grafted a new model forward toggle link and breechblock onto an old model dished rear toggle, all on an old model long receiver. Had to open up the extractor cutout a tad.

Ron, I agree most things can be done given enough time & money. but with the more expensive extractor, fining pin & center link modification, I don't know why anyone would want to do it. Going to the stonger PO8 BB assy is understandable. I even had a customer modify a M1906 frame with the addition of a loggle lock, in order to used the M1900 rear link. TH
