With the usual exception of the magazine, guess we can be thankful that the vast majority of Lugers do completely match - even after service in two wars. This is the obvious legacy of a military system in which personal accountability for a weapon and its condition was a fundamental component. Mismatches ranging from partial to nearly total seem be increasingly more common in late wartime captures and postwar reworks. Great forum! Wish we'd had it long ago.
