I think he is reaching, even for the minimum bid. To bad for the slight "problem" that it has.

:O someone try to shoot 9mm through it? or squib load? A little too pricy to throw non matching barrel on it and put in a case.

9mm wouldn't chamber so more than likely a stuck bullet and then another round fired.

I agree with SteveM, some criminal probably fired a second bullet while the previous one had remained stuck in the barrel.

It is a real shame about this 1900. It is a much better than average gun. If the barrel was as good as the rest of the gun, $2500 would be a decent buy. If it could be had for $1000-$1200 and rebarreled it would make an excellent representative piece for a beginning collection.

Take it all the way, make it into a carbine.

Can't...no stock lug. In addition you would have to fabricate and attach a forearm extension for the frame, make a forearm, make a barrel with front sight ramp and rear 3-position sight and shave off the rear sight on the toggle. Even then you couldn't legally be allowed to attach a buttstock since it was not a carbine originally. Doesn't sound like a worthwhile project to me.

This gun will be hard to sell. The problem is not minor.

Make note of the serial number. This gun may very well turn up in a year or so with an intact, matching barrel.

Send it to John Martz, he will fix it up and make it real nice for you! Love that patented soft silver "coin" sort of finish he does.

Ron:
So in your opinion, the carbines that the Lugerman is making are not legal since they begin life as a 4" gun? Never thought of that... dju |

If they have a 16" barrel or are sold as a registered, short barreled rifle they are fine.

As "alanint" has pointed out, Lugerman's carbines should have 16" barrels, and I think they do.

Makes sense.
So, for the sake of conversation, a WW1 4" gun, with the rear sight milled off, and with a repop. Artillery barrel with artillery sight is a SBR if used with an Artillery stock? dju |

I think it is also possible to re-install an artillery length barrel on one that was originally manufactured as LP.08, which had its barrel changed to one that is less than 4", add the stock, and have a C&R excluded gun. Easy to do with a DMW receiver with the notch on top front, as they were notched because they were made as artilleries. Not so with Erfurt, which notched every pistol frame, after a point, regardless of its final original configuration. Isn't it the case that some reference to what production data is avaliable can result in finding serials numbers within a range of those produced, of what configuration?

I'm wondering if the barrel can be welded back up, turned on a lathe to get the correct contour and then rust blued. Of course it would be a non-shooting example but at least it would be preserved. It's in really fine shape except for the barrel.

Uh, oh. I was thinking it would be a restoration, but I see the point.

I offered to buy the pistol; however, the owner thinks it is listed at a far price and was not willing to go to the amount that Ron had suggested in his post. Not that I need another project mind you, but it would have been a nice fixer upper.

Still, it just would negate the C&R status to 'modern' FFL standards. that said; from the BATF Quote:
