Well, I personally think it would be foolish to shoot it. Folks can say it is a remote possibility to break a numbered part, but I did it on a breachblock on a shooter, a perfectly nice, tight, good breachblock.

This is a 2 matching magazine, army byf, not common and worth the $3000-$4000

I personally can't or don't want to risk that much money; PLUS you are risking losing 1 more very collectable piece, when there are thousands of lugers out there for $600-$800 that will shoot just fine...

He breaks the breechblock and he has just shot about $2000 off the value.

You want a shooter, then buy a shooter, don't jeopardize a 2mm rig...
