Yessir. I hear ya'. I bought them (Russian captures) so cheap back in the 90's that I traded one for a nice Russian SKS last year. The guy thought something must be wrong. Why would I trade a Luger for an SKS?? It was exactly the SKS I had been looking for. He got a screaming deal and I paid less than the SKS was worth.

I don't know if there's a collector market for the VoPo reworks but for someone who wants a "shooter", they offer better value than most. I have another that I also bought many years back and had a new 6" .30 barrel installed... by Tom Heller, IIRC. It's a great shooter and certainly not a collector piece. It's perfect for anyone who wants to experience shooting a Luger without taking a chance on damaging a valuable collector piece.
