New FrankenLuger for Eugen

Eugen · 10-28-2016, 03:11 PM

Well, I finally got me a complete Luger shooter. Thank you, Mr. Tinker for selling it to me. It is a Mauser frame with a DWM upper and an 8” Bohler Stahl barrel. Numbered parts no matchy. Heinz 57 heritage comes to mind.

It looks pretty good, if I don’t say so myself. I just received it this week, and got it stripped, cleaned and lubed. As a relatively new Luger aficionado, half the fun is tearing them down and reassembling them. Plus I indulged in the mandatory playing with it and finger printing every part for a few hours to get familiar with it. Now I am ready for the range. Yippee! I can’t wait to shoot it like I hate it.

I also included pics of my super cool, hand carved and painted, wooden Frankenstein just to compliment the FrankenLuger theme. The carver was pretty talented.

You are going to be the envy of the folks at the range...that is a pretty piece. I like the Jay Leno jaw on Frankie

Nice shooter; I can't believe Ed let it go.

yeah, I had it made up special, but then I have about 3 made up special, so.... Besides, I won two unexpected auctions, so some money needed to roll in

I like it too. Besides it should be very accurate with all that distance between the front and rear sights. Actually, you have absolutely no excuses for ever missing...

Looks like a fun and accurate piece.....I like it. I would have been tempted myself, but you had already spoken for it. Enjoy, and give us a report.

Don,
Nice shooter. Be sure to give us a detailed range report.

You're going to draw all the attention from those plastic guns shooters!
Show'em how it should be!

Thanks, folks, for all the positive comments. Given my work schedule I probably won't be able to get to the range for over a week to shoot that puppy. My darn day job keeps interfering with my hobby. LOL

I'll report back with my experience. I can't wait!
