Shooting collector pieces is still different from shooting "shooters". Shooting hi-grade original guns gives feeling about how DWM, or Mauser etc works. Shooting shooters actually tests how Waffenfabrik USA works.

There's a hell of a lot of "shooters" that came from germany, tens of thousands of them, chromed, mismatched, parts guns on purpose that were put together after the war and sold to the american market.


Not meaning to rant, but I get a bit tired of hearing about how waffenfabrik operates. There are folks in all countries faking up and making guns; it just so happens that there are a lot more lugers here in the USA to mess with.

The guns that I worry about are the "very" nice ones; guns 65-95 yrs old and have no patinia or age to them.

I don't understand. I would consider my VoPo's "shooters" but they were built and fitted by Germans. Does not compute. I'm not trying to be smart....but I really don't understand what you mean.
