wlyon - The best advice I've received so far I think...
dju - I'm confused about the pistol already being rebarreled. The underside of the barrel is marked with the serial and 8,82. Is this wrong? I thought the only issues I had with this pistol was the Simson-marked hold open and the bakelite grips -- both of which could have been factory/field variations. Did I miss something else?
