Witness Marks Report--Revised and Expanded

physoft · 04-29-2017, 11:07 PM

I think all the opinions expressed here are valid and it's usually best to encourage an open discussion. Sometimes it is difficult to express a differing opinion without being critical of another. My take away from all of this is as follows. Witness marks that align perfectly are no problem, marks that don't align may or may not be a problem. My entry into this Luger world is a DWM 1923 Commercial rework. I am primarily interested in shooting rather than a collectible. I just purchased a full upper: barrel, barrel extension, toggle, BB and firing pin, etc. assembly which has a misaligned witness mark. Judging from what I have read here, I could have a problem or maybe not...I will let you guys know when I get to shoot it.....
