All moving parts in a Luger were fitted twice: first fitted in the soft form after machining, then hard fitted after heat treatment. Accordingly, it bears notice that modern heat treatment stands at odds with perfection of subsequent fit and finish. In other words, beautiful surfaces achieved by DWM and Mauser in pre-WWI production could never be duplicated, once ruggedness and durability emerged as principal concerns.
