floppy parabellum
I have recently aquired a buffed to hell parabellum pistol, and while my 1915 feels like one solid chunk of steel, this one has some side to side movement/wobble to it. I wonder if doing something as unkosher as nickle or chrome plating the gun would fix this problem by putting a bit more metal in the guide rails. Is there anything else that can be done to make it solid again? I cannot come up with any ideas other than plating. Finally, to Ted, do you do this sort of job or just restorations? I wonder what It would cost to gold plate the whole darn thing for grins... <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

There is also black colored "chrome" or some such, some kinds are thicker than others?

Hi Waschbear,
Try it for accuracy first. My VoPo DWM/Mauser has some movement but is still dead-accurate. The luger's overall construction means that some play between receiver and frame really doesn't hurt that much. Previous owner had buried the receiver in copper grease to limit sideways play. I shoot it with just a minor amount of gun oil, no grease/fat/etc.. Can't tell the difference. |
