The reworks ae almost always reblued, the Russian ones many people feel have a dip blue that is not very pretty. East German ones seem to have a nicer reblue.

I have a shooter that Tom put a 6 inch on for me. It shoots really nice.

But I think every gun is different and if it has replacement parts could be a problem child. But most Lugers I have shot, a little adjustment and a different magazine and they are okay. One I shot a couple of weeks ago, the original magazine stunk, but a replacement made it feed fine [img]wink.gif[/img]

Also on worn out barrels, several people here on the forum have had barrels that look almost silver worn out and they say it shoots great! So, shoot it first and see if it is no good before you swap out an original barrel.
