Rebuilding a Luger

Fal Grunt · 01-11-2009, 04:10 PM

I have a potential deal for some Swiss Luger parts. Basically everything but the barrel, frame, and receiver. However, I am completely unfamiliar with the Luger.

I have found a sight that has Luger parts:
http://www.poppertsgunparts.com/cgi-...a_gunparts.cgi

It appears that they would have the frame, receiver, and barrel I need.

However, here are the real questions. Anyone ever built a Luger? Anyone know how to index and head space the barrel?

Anything I should know?

Also I would appreciate it if you could look through the following pictures and tell me if everything appears to be there:

same picture, different angle

Grips are included too...

thanks so much!

Popperts has some parts, but call them first... they likely don't have any frames or receivers any more.

Certainly, many Lugers have been built from parts... happens all the time.

Welcome to the Lugerforum.

Any ideas for frames/receivers?

I don't want to trade if I can't find the parts I need.

Of course... I suppose I could sell the parts?
