If it were a reasonable price (like $20, which is all it's worth like that) I'd buy it, cut off the front sight band [and bore & tap it for a custom barrel] for later use and make another receiver thread chasing tool out of the rest. The Lahti thread is the same as the Luger (although the shank is longer) and there are some Luger barrel extensions ['receivers'] that are crudded up pretty bad with old dried up powder/grease/dirt.

As is, the only part of this barrel that's worth anything is the front sight.
