Looking to get my Luger Restored

ww1f · 09-08-2014, 02:50 PM

I have a 1916 Erfurt Luger in 9mm. Overall it appears to be in good shape but the bore is awfully pitted throughout. There is some minor pitting on the toggle, and the bluing (which i have been told has been redone incorrectly, is fading on the metal portion of the grip, around the takedown pin and on the right side of the trigger.

My main concern, however, is the condition of the bore. I ran a full magazine through it with no issues but i am hesitant to put any more rounds through it until someone who knows what they are doing says its ok. I would really like it to look GREAT but i plan to use it as a shooter.

Does anyone know anyone that does a good, thorough, trustworthy, cost effective restoration?
