G.T., just an FYI.
Twenty eight years ago I bought a 1914 Erfurt Artillery Luger. It has a replacement side plate and locking bolt. All else matches. When I got it, I fired a magazine - 8 rounds - through it. Function was perfect.
Today it was fired 10 rounds. I wanted a friend to experience shooting an Artillery Luger with an Artillery stock on it so I let him fire five rounds after which I fired an additional five. Again, function was perfect. We were shooting a silhouette steel target 10.5 x 18" at 25 yards. His shots were pretty well centered. Mine went high as the rear sight had climbed to about the 200 meter setting. I gave it a good cleaning and oiling and it's been put away.
I'll likely never shoot it again but it certainly has the migrating rear sight problem.
