I would consider this to be a severe structural breach bordering on what the heck were they thinking?
I don't remember from reading the thread if you ever mentioned the calibur. Is there a hole in the barrel? What size it it and is there a chamber area? Have you ever seated a round in it?

no I haven't put a round in yet. As far a severly comprmised and not a real luger... no one has touched this since the war and that notch/nub (not on the barrel) is not normal and shows it was machined that way. I know I don't know everything and you are a moderator but why say "this is not a real luger anymore" how did you make that assement. Since I said very nicely i didn't want to trade an heirloom holster for a random luger holster you have been less then cool...(check the thread) as I recall just before you offered the trade you said "Mike, Fascinating pistol!"

"If you want to work some sort of holster trade I am sure I could come up with a proper Luger holster for you.
Thanks, Jerry Burney "

and as soon as I said no thanks you said "-Mike..No problem, Just thought I would try to help out a newbie." and now I don't have a real luger? then why advise me to come up with a "proper holster" for my "Fascinating pistol" wow! I should have just given you the holster and I could stay in the club"

To anyone else at this forum I love it and it has opened a whole new avenue of intrest for me and I would like to stay but if i get booted I appreciate all the info and all the very nice comments"
Thanks,
Mike
