Peening
Hello Everybody
I just bought my first Luger (1939 Mauser S/42) cleaned and oiled it, and fired 1 magazine of regular WWB 115 grain. It functioned perfectly however upon inspecting it when I got home, I noticed some peening on the toggle knob and frame rails. There are also some scratches on the inside back of the frame. I honestly can’t remember if the peening was on the gun when I bought it because I needed a magnifying glass to spot it, but I do remember the finish was already worn in those spots.
I am thinking that somebody fired some hot +P or subgun ammo through it at some point. I only go shooting once a year so the pistol will most likely be a safe queen but my question is…do you think the peening will cause issues if it is ever fired again?
Thank you
