Hi Ted! The straw you did for me earlier has held up well! The half white / half blue pistol I sent back with you certainly needs some Green Magic!! I am really interested in how you think it shoots...it shot a mile high for me....(have to realize it is made from reject parts, except for the rear sight) Have Fun! till...later...G.T.

GT, The reason that your "Navy Shooter" is shooting high may be that you are using a low front sight base barrel with your Navy rear sight. Two solutions to this problem, the less expensive (about $20) is to install a much higher Scandahovian front sight blade. The other would be to install a correct high front sight base barrel. I do have these new in the white @$75. Tom

Befores have already been taken, and weapon is about 1/3 done already! A lot of the close ups wont be taken after because they serve no purpose! If there is somehting specific you want to see (like the rear sight) I can do that for you!

I submit that they show the whole world (literally)the actual magic that you are capable of performing. It would be good for your business. Why don't you set up some albums at Photopoint.com and post before, during, and after portfolios of each your restoration projects and then just put a link on your home page to the your 'work' album.

They wouldn't cost you anything but your time and you would have what would amount to a "public" resume of your work, ...a history of Luger restorations at your hands.

The other advantage is that your photos would allow all those that are interested worldwide to see examples of different variations of Lugers from the comfort of their computer keyboard. And there are many places in the world that don't enjoy the freedom of firearms ownership that we enjoy. I am sure that the folks who live in places like the UK would love to have the chance to examine classic firearms up close even if they can't touch them.

Just place a caveat that any commercial use of your photos must be approved by the copyright owner (that would be you)in writing in advance. Whatchyathink? Huh?
