NOS 4inch Luger barrels

[John Sabato]

I "think" that the fourth photo in the original post shows the chamber area with a heavy coating of grease, but it appears that the stepped chamber is visible in that photo even through the grease... but it's an easy matter to settle. Can we please see that same barrel shot of the chamber with the grease cleaned out of it?

Thanks.

John,

Also the texture of the finish up around the sight dovetails don't look right to me either. For that matter, the general texture of the finish looks a bit too ruff and not adequately polished for a barrel made during that period.

These look like some very fine barrels I purchased from GunParts Corporation about 20 years ago or so, texture, type and color of finish, everything. They didn't have the chamber step I discussed above, but rather a "modern" style straight chamber.

I also noticed this...The front sight band looks a bit 'rough'...Maybe just the light...

Sieger,
GPC was making their own barrels at that time... and as I recall the quality control was sometimes good and sometimes not so good.

I doubt that they included any waffenampt stamps on their new production.

John,

On second thought, I may have purchased these barrels from SARCO. They were of good quality and were German made.

Perhaps someone else added the waffenampt markings, later, in an attempt to boost.

The step in the chamber will tell the story, however.
