Well.. I still don't know if I did ok on this. Went to the gunshow today and managed a trade for this. (btw.. there was TONS of Lugers at this show.. I went with only the intention to trade off a police trade in German post war Walther PP in .32) So ended up trading the PP import Gun for this really nice BYF-43... All matching.. No imports.. great blue.. BUT!!!!!! here comes the kicker.. The Nice Bulge in the end of the Barrel.. I noticed that immediately.. and the seller made full discloser of such.. But I figured at worst I could part it out.. Would hate to do that since its such a clean matching gun.. Any advice on this guys? Is there a way a pro can fix the barrel? Look forward to hearing some opinions..
