There's a hell of a lot of "shooters" that came from germany, tens of thousands of them, chromed, mismatched, parts guns on purpose that were put together after the war and sold to the american market.


Not meaning to rant, but I get a bit tired of hearing about how waffenfabrik operates. There are folks in all countries faking up and making guns; it just so happens that there are a lot more lugers here in the USA to mess with.

The guns that I worry about are the "very" nice ones; guns 65-95 yrs old and have no patinia or age to them.
