Japanese "test" luger on Greg Martin Auction

[John Sabato]

John -

What is different about the contours of the rear of the barrel???

Rich,

Get out your magnifying glass old man... check the contours of the barrel flange on the blueprint CD you purchased from me (an extract is shown below) and then look at the contours of the actual flange on this gun... The taper on the barrel appears to be non-standard, and the way the taper is smoothed into the flange appears to ME to be too drastic. Not the gentle 6mm radiused curve of a genuine Luger barrel flange.

Not enough of the barrel muzzle is shown to make any further comments on the other end, but if you just compare the flange to one of your original luger barrels, you should see the difference.
