Welcome to the forum!

Rick meant to say .30 Luger for the chamber, aka 7.65 x 21 Parabellum. 7.63×25mm Mauser would be a no-go!

Such slips happen..."extractor/ejector" is another one we mess up, if we aren't careful!

If this turns out to be chambered in 9mm (not likely, but possible) its value as a collectible would be enhanced.

I wouldn't knock the 70s' Mausers too much. I find the enterprise to have been a worthwhile attempt to produce affordable Lugers. Same for the stainless Lugers made in Houston... I can't help but admire such love for the pistol combined with the stones (and $) to try to make them.
