Not Ron, but a friend... Not very many gunsmiths have ever seen a Luger. Even fewer know much about how to analyze or adjust the state of the mechanism. It's fairly unique.

LugerDoc (located in the Midwest) is an expert. I don't know where you're located, but if you ask, you may find one of the collectors on this forum nearby and willing to look at it.

If you want a shooter, consider a later Mauser made pistol. A mismatch, or something with finish condition that is mechanically sound. The Swiss made Lugers (which will be in .30 Luger caliber) are superbly made, and most have been very well maintained over the years.
