bore corrosion

FreischÃ?Â¼tz,

When considering Lugers, bore condition does not necessarily relate to external condition. This very often has to do with the fact that most Lugers were fed a diet of corrosive ammunition, and this is sometimes reflected in even the best-kept gun. Very often bore condition is only minimally reflected in the valuation of a collection-quality Lugers.

As far as when you replace or refinish, what Ron said.
