"It is an interesting open question as to whether these DWM Lugers were sold as .30 caliber guns and rebarrelled at Police armories, or rebarrelled at DWM after being sold to Police departments as "civilian" guns thus satisfying the requirement to not manufacture "military spec" guns." I've been thing about your quote since it was posted. I believe far to much work was/is attribut to police dept. armories. Getting ready here to build a custom rifle for a guy, I will start with an old action, so keep with me here, but as I need high dollar tools to spin the old barrel off, finish machine work for a crush fit to reciever new barrel, finish ream, correct head space bla..bla..bla...did pre 1945 police dept have the tools and the experance to do this type of work, I do the same once in a while for our local police, believe me they are not trained gun smiths. I see offered for sale, pre 1945, police sub cal units, but I don't recall seeing police gun smith tools required to do this knid of work, showing up anywhere. Has anybody got rock solid proof that PD's had this type of tooling, are German PD's doing similsr type work today, at any level ? thanks
