Newcomer .Special Thanks to GT . Changing Barrels

[CyborgDokey]

I want to give a special thanks to Mr. Gerald Tomek (AKA G.T. Specialties / GT ) for helping me get this beautiful 1923 DWM Luger P08 into working condition. When I first got the mismatched/shooter luger, I was having cycling issues with it and didn’t understand why. It was bad. It got to a point where the lower part of the shells would remain inside the chamber after being fire. At that point, I knew I had to do something. Someone at the range told me that it was possible to convert the luger from .30 to 9mm and since I live in California and don’t reload, it seemed like a great idea at the time. So, I bought a used 9mm barrel and decided to join the Lugerforum and started asking help via DMs (shy person here lol). LugerDoc recommended GT was the best man for the job and boy was he correct!

GT took care of this situation like if he was his own and I loved it! What a nice guy! When he received the upper and barrel, he told me the condition of the used barrel was okay but not great and insisted to hunt down a barrel in better condition. He got a hold of a brand new 9mm barrel made-in-Germany and made an unbelievable offer He also provided a high-quality 9mm Mainspring, high-quality springs for my meg-gar magazines, and ammo recommendations. Since this is my first luger, he assisted I installed the mainspring myself for learning purposes and indeed it was lol

With all that, the luger runs Magnificent. Very accurate, smooth shooting, light trigger, and no cycling issues. The luger feels and shoots like if it’s brand new!! It’s hard to believe it is 95 years old!! So much fun and I practically take it out every time I go shooting. I get so many compliments and I always offer people to shoot it. Always a good day with the luger. All thanks to Gerald. Seriously, you have no idea how happy I was when I first shot the luger after the changes

If you’re new to the forums and need direct help, GT is an EXCELLENT choice and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him! Great communication and Great timing. He truly brings the community vibe to the forums!

For the members, you guys should be proud to have him on your team

I do want to give an honorable mention to Jimmy Solomon for cleaning up the grips and fixing up the right grip as it needed to be trimmed. Grips feel amazing and I thank you!

I do have one more honorable mention pending and that is Eugene Lugerman, which currently holds the original magazine. The magazine was rusty and missing the mag pin. Once I get it back, I will update the post!

Thank you all and take care!
