Reline?

Tobruk42 · 03-15-2008, 09:52 PM

I have a 1939 S42 which could be all matching except for the fact that a shade tree Luger smith put a deep dent in the original barrel when my cousin had it replaced because he felt it was too pitted. He sold it to me years later and sent the original mangeled barrel with it. Everything else matches so would it be feasible to reline the original barrel to restore the gun? It would still have a visable outward dent but it would be functional. Has anyone had any success with Luger relining?
