Luger 45 ACP Project - Page 8

G.T. · 07-11-2018, 02:51 PM

Hi Eugene! I'd take mine with the less quality mags! I will purchase (a couple of!) the better quality mags when they become available?... Let me know... best to you, til...lat'r...….GT......

rammercmc · 07-11-2018, 02:58 PM

Eugene,

having trouble getting mags shouldn't keep you from finishing up the lugers you have deposits on.

Your failure to sell me the baby you made for yourself tells me my pistol is on the back burner ----- how hard would it have been to say heh Rick, send me the balance and I will ship you mine and knock out another to keep for myself. Maybe you need to put your customers NEEDS ahead of yours for a change.

We all appreciate the trouble you took on to get this project off the ground. You also need to remember 5 - 7 thousand is a lot of money to a working stiff or a retired gent on fixed income. Then again we are probably not the customers you were hoping for.

I collect a lot of things besides guns. Pocket watches , watch tools, antique outboards, antique machine tools, some of which are real pricey. I happen to own a Goyen OT lathe , ck out Shuter Goyen. You talk about expensive -----

Most recently I have been picking up a few motorcycles. Bought a Big Dog Chopper for 5,000 a 30,000 bike. I ride it a couple times a week, GREAT FUN for the money. When and If I get my Baby I will probably shoot it a few times and then put it up with my other Lugers, not much FUN in that, especially for the MONEY !!!!!Certainly pride in ownership but only a few will ever appreciate what it is.

Gosh Eugene.
As long as you're wishing, I'll wish along with you. "I wish the .45 call 1907 Luger pistol I ordered from you in August 2017 was completed and in my safe."
Wonder if that wish will come true before the one year anniversary of my order?
Lyn

Eugene:
How many 45 Lugers have you completed to date?

Ben M. · 07-18-2018, 09:47 AM

Eugene:
How many 45 Lugers have you completed to date?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
better to ask : how many delivered to customers to date?

2bnag · 07-19-2018, 04:24 PM

He's not going to answer either one...

2bnag · 08-01-2018, 10:46 PM

I wonder if he got some more magazines made.

LugerMan.com · 08-03-2018, 11:19 AM

We tested a new material for mags,
And we trying to simplify the process a bit,
To take out several manual operations.
As soon as fixtures are done will be cutting more mags.
Mean while we prepared 6 more guns for shipping.
We got another 10 to go from 2017 lot of guns.

4130 or 4140? ….. just guessing! ….GT....

Those are carbon steel. Aren't Eugene's magazines stainless???

LugerMan.com · 08-03-2018, 02:37 PM

Wrong.
17-7
Other materials proven to be unstable during heat treatment

G.T. · 08-03-2018, 02:55 PM

It appears that it will do everything you require... material is a bit pricy, and looks like the secondary opp's are expensive and a bit complicated as well... but, when done, it will be a magazine they will dig up a thousand years from now, and it will look as new?...

…. best to all, til....lat'r.....GT.....

LugerMan.com · 08-03-2018, 02:59 PM

Yes, they do not need oil deep to harden,
17-7 is very stable and air cooled on hardening.

Rick W. · 08-03-2018, 11:12 PM

L.M.

I have a deep appreciation for actual expertise, thanks for sharing some of yours.

Not many would take on such a project as the 45 Luger, just so much work of all kinds required, my congratulations on your efforts as if you really needed it.....

2bnag · 11-16-2018, 06:50 PM

Anyone heard from Eugene lately? I wonder how many more have been delivered...Bill

Edward Tinker · 11-16-2018, 07:39 PM

I have not heard, although two close friends are waiting for theirs and should have received months ago...

LugerMan.com · 11-16-2018, 08:31 PM

Hi guys,
We have 8 guns that have been lingering,
Some due to the fact that new batch of mags just have been finished, some due to the fact that we were 2 man short for the past 2 month. We are back on track this week,
2 guns have been shipped, 4 more going out next week and soon 2018 deliveries will start.

So, 2018 deliveries will start going out in 2019???

rammercmc · 11-17-2018, 09:03 AM

Still waiting on my Baby 45 Luger and Baby P38. 6500 may not be much money to some members here but to a retired working stiff it certainly is.

I recently added a 2006 hayabusa to my stable of bikes.Paid 5500. In 2006 it was the fastest production motorcycle , 193 mph top end and 10 sc quarter mile. A lot of machine for the money.

So, what do we invest in ? The bikes will never be worth more than what i paid -----

Rick

Edward Tinker · 11-17-2018, 12:22 AM

Eugene, what is the total shipped so far? I realize your # in line was not always the # number that went out in order....
