1937 S/42 Drilled barrel ... why?

Hi Folks,

Just thought I would give you an update on my Luger, and a couple shout-outs.

As suggested by several individuals, I got in touch with GT. A week later I had an operational luger in my hands.

It's been freezing here, but I did get out to the range yesterday as I couldn't wait any longer. We shot three magazines with no failures, and she points where you aim. I feel the accuracy is very good, but hard to prove that when your fingers are numb and you are hurrying to get a few rounds off before the range closes. It was an absolute hoot to shoot, and I can see why there is interest in not only collecting, but shooting these wonderful pistols!

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions, especially those that led me to contact GT!

Thanks to GT for putting this old girl back into operational condition at a very reasonable price; supplying and installing a period correct barrel with excellent rifling, and also the needed mainspring and mainspring guide. It was a pleasure dealing with GT and I won't hesitate to recommend him to others; I can't really say enough about what a positive experience this has been.

My apologies for lack of pictures, I will try and get them on here asap.
