'Target' Luger w/MMC Sight

sheepherder · 06-12-2016, 01:55 PM

From the November 1971 Shooting Times, a 'contributing editor' had an article on a 'target' Luger he had made up...

"Skeeter Builds A Long Luger"

Dovetailed rear toggle...

I always enjoyed Skeeter's articles. Grew up reading them, thanks for scanning and posting Rich

I have a couple of those unmodified MMC sights, Wish I knew how to alter them like Skeeter did. I read that article in 1971 when it was published. I still have the magazine. Thanks for the memory flashback Rich.

Rich,
thanks for posting. Interesting project.
I'll see what MMC still has available- if they are still around.

Me too Ed... He was a first edition of Sheepherder when it came to experimenting... Loved his articles growing up.
