My Grandfather's Luger

glock30 · 10-17-2011, 07:19 PM

If you fired three and they look normal, what is the problem? I don't understand, you didn't fire these. Can I politely ask you....... Do you like to worry? Don't, it isn't healthy. And if you think it isn't something a collector would want, I'll take it. A Luger is a Luger in my book, ALso it was free , I would be in my glory if someone gave me a free Luger. thus not be worried about cases that you don't even know where they came from.
as far as a 380 firing a .32acp, that is easy, the case is the exact same height, the RIM of the .380 is only a 3/10th's of a mm thicker than the .32 not much, SO IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.

What does surprise me is people eating ketchup on HotDog's. No one, I mean no one, eats ketchup on a hot dog.,,,,,,,,,

Actually scientists are now saying that worry is good for you.

That's good news for the many Americans who chose to live above their means in recent years. 100% of the fingers on my shooting hand also agree that a three round test might not be enough in this case. When taking possession of an unknown firearm and finding some abnormal casings in with the live rounds, I believe some level of due diligence is necessary. Part of that includes asking experts if they have seen similar results and "thinking out loud" to illuminate possible explanations.

While there is a buyer for every Luger, an Alphabet isn't a rare model sought by collectors. It is, however, the only Luger my Grandfather had and the only one he left to me when he died and while I did not pay for this pistol, it was not free.

Mayonnaise and sweet relish on mine, thanks.
