Dwight, I agree that the story doesn't fully answer the question... but the fact that the story relates the recollection of workers at Mauser during WW2 regarding the manufacture of Luger barrels... I would say that the information is a nugget worth remembering...

I think it is increasingly seldom that we get much insight into the methods used by the craftsmen of the time when Lugers were manufactured... My recent inquiry to both Mauser and the Weapons Museum at Oberndorf resulted in a answer that there are no historical photographs of the manufacturing processes... and the only photographs that they still have of Mausers of the 1970's are marketing type photos...
