In the case of a Luger, the barrel, receiver and toggle train is considered a firearm. With only the upper part of a Luger, it is possible to chamber a round and fire it by pressing on the forward part of the sear. There is actually a case on record of an individual who disassembled his Luger with a round in the chamber and when he dropped it on the table, it discharged wounding him severly. You are correct that there is no law requiring the barrel and frame to have matching serial numbers. In fact, even though the aforementioned barrel/receiver assembly is considered a firearm, I don't know if there is a law or regulation requiring it to be serial numbered. Does anybody in the forum know?
