1914 Luger

Garandsrus · 11-21-2022, 07:00 PM

Hi,

I am new to this forum and am a new Luger owner! I have wanted to get a Luger for quite a while and finally got one. It is matching except for the magazine, the locking bolt and side plate.

The locking bolt is broken so I ordered a replacement from Numrich. Is there any fitting required when replacing this part? I wouldn't think so.

The side plate is another story. I don't know why the bluing is gone, but I can try and cold blue it. Any ideas? I also read that final fitting may be required if I replace it, so that's probably not an option right now.

I have shot the pistol on one range visit and it functioned fine and shot well. It is really a fun pistol to shoot!

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
