Default Well, it's that time of year again!

Hi to all, as the title states, it's that time of year, which to me, is any time of the year when I run out of original followers for Luger magazine repairs???? ... So, here I am begging for some help! I am not shy about it either, as when I repair members magazines, I often swap followers to solve a binding or feeding issue, and I don't charge for this part or part of the service! I'm just happy to have parts that work? Anyway, if you have a little stash of followers, especially Mauser wartime, I would certainly like to purchase them and will post a thread in the WTB section stating such.... As I realize the cupboard may be bare, perhaps a few will trickle thru for a new home in a sad and sick Luger mag. (Almost makes you want to go out and buy a puppy!) .... Thank and best to all, til......lat'r........ GT

G.T., I'm bidding on a couple of parts lots, each with an original follower. Will keep you posted...

No soap from the auction, I'm sorry to say. Someone with deeper pockets won the parts.

yesterday was a huge auction of 1911 parts / M1 / M1 carbine etc. I was interested, but forgot.
I bet there are parts locked away by the thousands - somewhere

An auction lot with the internal parts for a couple of dozen Erma toggle pistols came and went on Gunbroker. I'd been outbid, I think, and planned to snipe the auction at the end. Still kicking myself for being distracted/forgetting. But the weird thing is that the parts never made an obvious appearance on GB elsewhere later. "Loveoldguns" was the username of the winner, also a ghost on their forums...

Give or take some fitting, mostly yes. Sometimes no.
