Why don't you parkerize it? After re-finishing my 1911, I had to use fine grit valve-lapping compound to loosen up the slide enough to function. Good luck. MR

I considered that but something about a parked Luger just doesn't compute.

Parkerizing will take up some of the slop...Not a whole lot (maybe .0005" to .0015")...I've Parked AR15 barrels, and the front sight base is always a bear to get on afterwards...

But I've found that if you go over a Parked finish with well-worn 0000 steel wool (that's 4 zeros) it will give the Park a satiny-shiny semi-gloss...

Beats me but it did.

It depends on which way you have the receiver clamped in the vise...
