Default ~~ Shooters~~

A shooter Luger, is just that, a shooter. Mismatched, East German or Russian reworks(these are beginning to rise above "shooter" catagory), a pitted or "Bubba" re-blued example, or one that you assembled yourself from parts.


This is a 1914 Erfurt that I got from a crooked dealer on Auction Arms. He had photos of a very nice Luger. Obviously not this one. The description was a " Professionally re- finished 1914 Erfurt , all matching."

I contacted him for more photos and he offered to sell it off auction for $700, on the grounds that he had to sell it as soon as possible for the first reasonable offer. This is what I got. He refused to take it back and refund my money. Since I bought it off auction, I couldn't get any support from the auction admin. So, I reported him as a crook and took my lumps. I haven't seem him post anything since under the name that he was using.

I have it completely stripped and in process of re-finishing it.
