Advice for a new buyer

Tony,

Others here would say, contrary to Doug, collect the Imperial guns and shoot the WWII Mausers.

Before you invest in a .30 gun, find out what the ammunition availablilty and price is in your area, and decide if you can afford the bill. If all that is available is Fiocci, be prepared for failures to operate due to low-powered cartridges.

In all liklihood you will find a Luger for shooting in your price range. It may not be pretty, and it may have the odd mismatched part. It will still be suitable for your use.

Best of luck, and good hunting.

--Dwight
