Google translates much better than I could, but it is still amusing to read the strict literal translation and how it leaves the final connection to the imagination.

My favorite is "the squatting of the barrel...washed with parabelum (is) 1:11; which I "think" means the twist rate of the barrel is 1 in 11!

Hi,

The German barreled 7.65s had twist specs of one in 9.84 inches (250mm). What twist was used in the Finnish replacements is unknown to me.

I discovered today that I also had a box each of Fiocchi Black Box and Silver box. I test fired two mags of each in my shooter and added their OAL data to the list at the beginning--along with the "x"s each earned for presenting no issues.

Looks to me as though you have one "happy" Luger, and just enjoys being fed and shot!! That is Luger nirvana to a shooter.
