First, your Luger was originally 9mm, not 7.65mm, so you do not need to reline it for that reason. Stick with 9mm, it is a heck of a lot cheaper to shoot. Second, your idea to shoot it first is a good one. You may be surprised at how accurate it is. I have seen Lugers with bores that looked like sewer pipes that grouped better than some modern pistols. Sounds like you made a pretty good buy.
