AMEN brother! A rifling button? run through a barrel that is already rifled?

IMNSHO What a crock!

I haven't even looked at the photos or the auction, but if that description is any measure of the item... it doesn't even sound as if it is worth my time to look at it, let alone buy it!

Okay, so I went to look at it... a buffed and refinished Luger... Ho-Hum... It will make a great SHOOTER, not a collectible. Certainly not worth the asking price... $800 tops.
