Thanks everyone for your input.

Policeluger-the chamber is fine. I dind't check the headspace like I have done with my .45 reloads, but I won't be reloading this one anyway.

JS- Thanks for the Welcome!

Ed T.- I got a good chuckle..whip out a target... :-)

Arvin- Thanks for the word of caution. There is basically surface corrosion in the barrell. None of it is deep enough to hurt the integrity of the barrell, I don't think. There are plenty of craters in the valleys between the rifle lands, and smaller pits on top of the rifling.

Ron W.- there are no high spots. If there were, they were knocked off by the current owner long before I looked at it (he hasn't shot it since the 50s).

Where does everyone here find .30 Luger ammo? The two closest gunshops are wanting about $45.00/box. A bit steep for my taste...and I really don't want to reload a tapered round.

Thank you again.

Joe
