Reline?

Agree that this would not make sense if the barrel in question was not the original. In this case, however, it is the original correctly numbered barrel. After the initial butchery was complete the shade tree smith returned the damaged original along with the "repaired" pistol. My cousin actaully never recovered from the trauma of this experience and only sold the Luger to me because he couldn't live with it any more.
Perhaps this would be an opportunity to fill a niche in Luger smithing. I"ve relined a few 22 rifle barrels with good results. This would be a big leap forward....but do you think there would be much demand for Luger relining?
