Thomas,

It would be necessary to actually try out the gun to judge the ability of the barrel to shoot consistently. It would not be unusual for a Luger barrel that appears shot out to perform well.

It is also not unusual for the uninformed to place an inappropriately high selling price on a Luger. Often education does not make a dent in this, so be prepared to walk away from this offer after encountering a stone wall--a too-high price that will not budge.
