Hello there - first a couple of comments - did you download the FAQ?
In it is a section (and threads on the forum) on how often parts break.
You asked and I'll say, any luger you shoot might break. A shooter, you just replace the part, a collectible and you just went from a collectible to a shooter and lost $1000-$1500 - but it sounds like that might not matter. So, would say, you just made a collectible into a shooter and deprived future generations of its being collectible.

Tom and Kurt Whiteman at Legacy are good people, however, I am biased as I know them personally and consider them close friends.

Lugerman aka Eugene G is also a friend, he can be quick on something you buy and he can be surprisingly slow in delivery, sometimes 2-3 times longer than anticipated.
You could have conducted a search on any of the dealers via the search tool above, sometimes you can learn a lot.

I also suggest you buy books, in addition to lugers.

Ed
