Arvin, I have a few shooter lugers and then some I have quit shooting, they simply cost to much to screw them up.

I am curious, unless there is an obstruction in the barrel, how would a moderatly pitted barrel cause a safety issue? The gases can escape easier rather than slower, thus making the velocity go down?

Now, a pitted out, with rust intact barrel or pitted out barrel with damage is no way to go, and safety is #1.

I was in the military for a long time and one thing I learned was that more guns are damaged by over-cleaning than by shooting or simple neglect?

So, safety is #1, but I guess why change the barrel if it shoots good and is safe?

And if you think it is unsafe than do what you want, it is your gun. From what I understand, once a luger barrel is taken off, it usually doesn't go back on again safely? Lugerdoc or Hugh?
