I was thinking exactly the same thing!!!! I am laughing my butt off--WOW!!!! you just never know do you.

Kind of an expensive start for a shooter project, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder or dreamer- I would really like to see the final product someday.

seems to me there is a limited market for custom luger barrels with profiles and sights per user specifications - or to specific-enough guidelines

also should be a market for near repro barrels to near original profiles for those who prefer the near classic look but have no interest in the fakery aspect

since member GT now offers barrel install services, if someone could make the custom barrels then we would have a working set of services

so those with ability and time - please consider making custom barrels available - Im interested as a customer

also missing is an excellent custom rear target sight on toggle solution for those who dont want the classic navy toggle due to tiny poor V sight picture etc

please pm me if you do not care to announce to forum

thanks !

Speaking for myself, my abilities are limited and my backlog is measured in years...

But if you posted a thread in 'Wanted To Buy' with a description of what you wanted done...Like maybe "Machinist Services Wanted: Have 12 inch Ron Powers slab-sided revolver barrel, would like it threaded & chambered to fit my Luger barrel extension. Also have Bo-Mar BMCS rear sight, would like it mounted on my Luger rear toggle", someone might be interested enough to take on such a job.

Just a suggestion. Such mods are not in my own area of interest (or skill level), but I can see how an amateur gun hack might be intrigued enough to take on such a project.
