It's a bit more than that...It looks like the chamber was drilled oversize (awful rough surface for a Luger chamber); then a slot milled lengthwise along the chamber length through the receiver and barrel/chamber; then a hole drilled transversely and the steel rod pounded in...

Can't tell if the rod was welded as well, but somebody did a quick & dirty grind of the end of the rod...

Yep...I'd say that was de-activated, all right...
