Breech Block Failure 1916/1920 Erfurt

Allen Brett · 01-19-2021, 03:26 PM

I shoot my Lugers as none are family heirlooms, specialty or mint. I have a WWI DWM that the GI had nickel plated with all numbers matching brought back that I purchased from the family and it functions just fine. I am the one that started this post and I plan on replacing the breech block and shooting the Erfurt on occasion is that a bad idea? I have a message and an e-mail into the "lugerdoc@charter.net" to see if he has one that matches the last 2 digits of the serial number. If he does not have one or I do not hear back I will either purchase a new one with no marks or a used non matching I have seen and replace the damaged one. if the majority of members suggest I not shoot it then it is no good to me and I guess I will sell it?
