Winters long project - Page 2

Of course you all know I am just kidding in a way to complement a beautiful work of art! I wish God had given me the talent to do that wonderful work.

BTW, I don't work for Glock; nor do I work for anybody! Anybody hiring? Especially someone able to teach me the fine art of craftmanship needed to build such an exquisite firearm.

I would have to assume this was a joke, however I did not take it that way so I am now asking that you send a payment of $250,000.00 to assure that I do not forward this to Glock where they can find you in contempt for misrepresenting them as an employer. I have already contacted my lawyer to start the necessray proceedings.

Bad joke which was not appreciated.

John, me thinks I should just keep my mouth shut! Jack

No big deal it just came as an eye opener @ 6 am this morning. How about we face off at 20 yards with wet noodles, winner take all. Of course I get my choice of noodles.

Wait until they see my next project as I had a real nightmare last night.

Neil, I am sorry to say I just found this thread as I have been extremely busy with leather work and cannot read all of them.
I want to join in with my fellow collectors who have been amazed at your stunning example of the gunsmith's art. Truly an astute choice of cartridges for this great piece of work. I am always amazed by the hidden talent in this World. Thanks for sharing this treasure with us first. I can see a magazine article in the works...Test Fireing the .45 GAP Luger! I wish you great continued success in making some more of these and becoming the second John Martz if this is of any interest to you!
I am also happy to hear that the small tiff with the humor of Jack Hiles came out as pleasantly as it did. I know jack pretty well and he's really a great guy. Both of us have an out of the ordinary sense of humor. I have seen more than one attempt at levity turn into bitter feelings on these Forums and am always overjoyed when they can be worked out and we go back to what we like best, Lugers.
Thanks Niel. Jerry Burney

This little/big (little in size but big in caliber) got rave reviews when it was introduced. I wonder if Hub ever made another one, I had a guy on another forum ask about pricing. He is contacting Neil directly, but I just wondered if anyone heard anything else about these super Lugers

?

Yes,

He said that it was fun, but so much trouble that he is not going to build any more.
