Noticed that Tom said he made a Baby Luger after seeing some of Martz Babies. Tom, Hugh is making one for me! Any words of wisdom for him regarding tricks you may have learned from your grueling gun smithing work (I gather from the "never again" comment) A nice picture from Ralph Shattuck/Georg Luger's Baby courtesy World of Lugers follows.

Yes, Tom, any hints or suggestions would be welcome. I have made one, started on a second and promised Ted his is the third.

Hugh, just for grins, how LONG (#) is the line for the Babies?

Patrick · 03-28-2001, 06:54 PM

Now that I can (hopefully) do it - hereÃ?Â´s the Werle Baby Luger. It takes five rounds. Patrick

Or is it 13?????

Hugh, I finally sent gun to Martz to install recoil spring of correct strenght, rather than me "reinventing the wheel".

Hugh · 03-29-2001, 03:21 PM

Tom,

That was my biggest problem; getting a shorter spring to work the action correctly.

Hugh · 03-29-2001, 03:27 PM

Ted, I'm having a "senior month" and am not sure, but I think I have 5 after yours. Anyone that told me earlier; (like last year) that they wanted one , better remind me so I can be sure they are on the list.

Frank · 03-29-2001, 05:52 PM

I asked you this year, does that count?

Hugh · 03-29-2001, 09:12 PM

Yes, Frank, that puts you in line for #4 or 5, or is it 6 or 7 ?, or 8 or 9? Depends on how well you behave!
