Second question
If you have an old barrel with messed up threads, are there such things as a thread fixer? Like the type I have for small threads that are screwed up?

Hi Ed
Threading them on his lathe by hand is exactly what he is doing. And it is the only way to get the threads concentric with the bore. It isn't rocket surgery  . All it takes is the tools and appropriate instruction and practice of which he obviously has both. There are even videos on YouTube where you can see how simple (but tedious) a process it is. I am sure he could create a thread chaser (die) if he needs one but I am pretty sure they aren't available commercially for Luger barrel threads.
