Hello again to all of my friends at the forum. I thought that I would update you on where I'm at with my restoration project. I have disassembled the gun and cleaned it up to the best of my ability. All of the parts seem to be moving freely as they should. I recently ordered the main spring and guide, which hopefully will be the last peice of the puzzle. I do have a question. I have been told , by the local gun dealer, that my Luger is a 9mm. He even found a 9mm clip for me. But I have tried to drop a 9mm bullet into the loading chamber { barrel }, but it will not go all of the way in. I have cleaned the inside of the barrel using a wooded dowel, emory cloth as well as lapping compound { a mild abrasive }. The inside looks clean and polished, with the rifling clearely visable.Could this be a 7.65 Luger? Or do I have to work on the barrel some more? Any hints? Anyway, things are coming along. My son has even joined in with me. The wife is still not interested. Oh well. Thanks again, stan
