I have a few hunting type guns with the laminate type stock and full well realize that the it is the best way to go, far superior to Walnut in so many ways particularly accuracy. But being old school I just can't give up on a nice grained and finished Walnut stock. I just like the look of finished Walnut. Franchi Renaisance Elite 12 Ga.: The following Browning Citori was bought for me by Don Haldeman who won the Gold Medal in trap shooting at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. Don and I worked together at the Budd Co. and I did some gratis welding work for him. In return he surprised me with the gun as a gift for the work I had done.

It was also my first pistol. A little history, it had some questionable safety issues and Ruger offered free alterations. I sent mine in and had the transfer bar work done. Worked like crap. I took out the transfer bar and went back to original configuration. I think all newer models already have the transfer bar installed. It's a small piece of metal that you can see slide up over the firing pin when cocking the hammer. Ruger still offers a free fix if wanted....... I would not.

While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions: 1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone? The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security. Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware. The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are gun owner veteran or not, you've been warned. If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, in this economy most of us are stressed, vet or not. But if a Vet gets stressed he loses his right to carry. So far I have not used any Veterans benefits so I have not encountered this matter........... luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there were any safety issues and haven't shot my big toe off yet so I'm leaving it just the way it is. The safety issue is very minor and, IMHO, overkill. The safety mod is so you can carry the gun with all cylinders loaded and not worry about it firing if you drop or bang it in some way. With revolvers it is a good practice to leave one chamber empty and carry the gun with the hammer located over the empty cylinder. If you drop or bang it there is no bullet under the hammer to go off accidentally. Only drawback is you have one less round in your cylinder. For most the safety outweighs one less round, particularly if it is not carried for self defense. I believe almost all new revolvers have incorporated some type of safety system so they can be safely carried with all cylinders loaded. But I am old school, all my revolvers including those for self defense are carried with the hammer on an empty chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite accurate but surprisingly LOUD and has a good bit of muzzle flip. Completely different experience compared to my 9mm Beretta. It has 2 dates stamped on it. 1918 is the original date, then 1920 below it. It was apparently confiscated after WW1 under the Treaty Of Versailles, then re-issued in 1920 to the German police. I have the original police holster that it was re-issued with. The holster might be worth more than the gun because the gun has been re-blued according to the gunsmith I showed it to (probably before re-issue in 1920).

Even with the reconditioning I suspect the value of the gun could approach or exceed $3,000.00. http://www.gunbroker.com/ Enter Luger in Search and look at the listings. I tried linking direct to the page but it expires in this type format. That gunsmith might be setting you up for his own interests. I did not look at anything in detail but I think your gun has very good value. I also know very little about Lugers, where they were manufactured also effects value. The WW II Lugers having Nazi symbols also impacts value. I do know I would like to get one someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
