4 Scale,

You assume that the specs are correct for a Luger.

Probably (most likely) not.

Hot ammo causes breach block slap in Lugers, eventually beating the pistol to destruction.

Oh, I don't assume that. I've had issues with Russian quality in the past in non-firearm areas which makes me wary. I appreciate David sharing his results and wish him well with this ammo but I don't plan to use it myself.

Both options were developed. The hand reamer was meant for modifications of existing pistols, while the removal of the step in new pistols was just a minor change in production steps.

The hand reamer was also used to test the effectiveness of the modification.

About steel cases, I think the old lacquer coating did more harm than the steel case itself.
