1937 Luger firing issues

gunbugs · 11-28-2020, 12:18 PM

Just my opinion, but I don't think there is any problem with Legacy, or the other major online Luger sellers. Don't expect that they are going to fire, or range test the firearms they sell. Nor are they going to detail strip and clean them. They are typically sold in "as found" condition. If they function normally, by hand, then the seller will usually consider them saleable, as in the case of the OP's pistol. A buyer shoots antique guns at their own risk, and should know that they are generally buying a "pig in a poke", without any real knowledge of a firearms' ability to function normally, and should make no presumptions as to the actual "shootability" of a purchase.
