New project: Luger re-barreled to .45 GAP - Page 2

It would be oh so wrong, but very funny to put a GLOCK logo on the toggle

As the magazine goes, I think the Werle version with a closed frame and a loading gate in the right grip is the most efficient approach.

Thanks Vilm.
I'd like to see a picture of the frame or with the toggle open to see what he did for feed lips.

As for the glock marking, no- I think not; but maybe the barrel with " .45 GAP" will get enough attention?

Seems like every time I see something from Werle's outfit, I learn something new. Never would have thought about the side loading, always thought I would approach like the Wyatt. Looks like a full 45acp too, guess if he can run a 30 Mauser thru a Luger, the 45 would be easy. Just a true craftsman and with innovation.

some shop he has, could spend hours there just lookin.....

In ref to a hold open, I was thinking I didn't care, but I guess not as a final shot but to hold it open to load a round....

That is exactly how i was going to do it,

You see a screw on the right hand side, i bet that is a screw that hold a new lip

I bet it would be a great experiment to do it to mine... since I know you've thought about how awful it would be being a single shot

I see what may be a socket head screw on the left side, but nothing on the right

Must not be looking in the right place.
