Dwight:

Your pistol is an unusual case. I have a M1930 Mauser Broomhandle that had a bad chamber when I got it. There was just a slight bit of pitting in the chamber but it was enough to cause extraction problems. I decided to have it relined in 7.63 and it shoots fine now.

You will need to decide how much money you want to put into your Luger, if indeed you want to put any more into it at all. If it was mine, I think I would have to get a new barrel and mag release for it (assuming the breechblock, etc., was OK).

I'm not sure if relining is possible or what it would cost. You might check with Mentor Arms on that. I don't have an address or phone handy but I bet Kyrie does. My Mauser was relined by Oyster Bay but I have not seen their ads for a long time.

Since new barrels are readily available I think I would go that route. I'm sure Tom Heller could put a new barrel on for you and he would be my first choice. I would stay with the original 4 inch length but you could get a 6 inch or even 8 inch barrel installed.
