John,

I agree that any old Luger ammo will be/is a collectible item now! having fired and still do some of the older rifle ammo, I was wondering how well the old German ammo woulod fire and it probably will function and hit point of aim as orginally intended. With all the different commercial ammo and the new stuff from Russia coming in, many tend to have some problems with funtioning of the pistol. I understand that the condition of the springs and the pistol itself does make a difference in charateristics of function.

I agree that we should hold on to the existing ammo! I know that some dealers are selling original WWII production German 8mm rifle ammo at a very good price and I hate to see this collectible ammo being shot up as there will never be anymore.
