Uncocking a Luger

[Pete Ebbink]

Hey Folks,

Brownell's sells some really nice, accurately sized "practice" rounds in both 9 mm and .30 cal.; very cheap...

Buy enough so you can load a luger magazine fully and then you can cycle through a whole magazine tube without the danger of live rounds.

In the Brownell catalog # 54, they are listed on page 27. 10 rounds for .30 luger go for $ 9.96/ten and 10 rounds for 9 mm luger go for $ 8.36/ten.

I have started taking these along with me when I find a luger I am considering buying; to make sure it will cycle rounds properly...and the guns is in otherwise good working order.

Of course, you need to take the "dummie" rounds box with you to show the seller these really are safe rounds to check the action with...

Flying with these on the airlines in your checked bags may still present a problem...I call ahead and ask the airlines about them...

Regards,

Pete... <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
