OP, stop trolling the tech forums. From pretty much everyones perspective you're being deliberately obtuse.
This sure is a strange way of having fun. Take it to GD. |

The purpose of this thread is not for name calling. I just want to understand how this thing could be worth saving. Frankly, it reminds me of that Johnny Cash song where he carried a Cadillac out the plant, piece by piece, in his lunch box, over a 20 year period. Clearly, part of this gun is associated with 1937 and DWM. But how many serial numbers are in there? I have heard and read stories that Germany became desperate and started throwing parts together toward the end of WWII. But, a 1937 gun? In all probability, it is something someone threw together post war to make a buck. That isn't very glamorous. Is there any redeeming reason to not have this one destroyed, as was done to the HP35? The massive amount of opposition to the destruction of the pistol should be reason enough not to destroy it. Sell it, gift it or donate it to a museum. The wanton destruction of a significant weapon certainly has no place in a technical forum. |

Don't destroy history. Keep it or sell it to one of the interested here in the thread.

In a way, non-matching guns have the potential for more history, as any given part will have been witness to a different event. ETA: If you really want it gone, I can arrange that immediately, I can compensate you for it, or donate to your favorite charity or whatever you prefer. As I said earlier, I believe I am local to you. |

Incorrect. It is not a chipper. The metal recycling center uses a "hammer mill". Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Incorrect, if it is as bad as you claim it to be (mismatched and some rust) a quick look online would put it in the $500 range or so. So it does have worth. It’s just a question of if you like throwing $500 into the chipper. |

If owning relics of a defunct enemy is not your thing I would definitely sell rather than destroy. There are many that collect such things and even if unsafe to shoot (which I doubt the HP35 or P08 are) there are those that collect non shootable guns as well.
I have dozens of guns that will likely never fire ever again but I like to imagine what they have seen in their existence that caused the wear and damage they now bear |

Do you blame the sword for the hand that wields it?
Is it the gun's fault for how the shooter used it? I have 3 Nazi era pistols and 1 rifle. I don't lose sleep over their "possible" history. You have a shooter grade Luger. Without seeing the bore I would venture to say your gun is worth between $800-$1,000. If you're interested in selling it there are, as you have already seen, people on this site willing to buy it. You can also check with Simpson LTD, Armslist, Gunbroker, etc. |

If you are serious you need to seek professional help. You obviously have some underlying mental health issues that need to be addressed.
I'm not trolling you or attacking you but based off of your posts you have something going in that is a bit off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am to the point that I hate the damn gun. I just wanted to know if the thing had any redeeming quality/value. I bought it to help a relative out and get something that might be neat. I knew nothing about War era Lugers at the time. Part of me wants to throw it back in the safe. Part of me wants to take to the recycling center and laugh at the hateful, abusive here. The gun looks functional, is in good shape and is period accurate. Who cares is it’s cobbled together from a parts bin? All that means is you’ve got a shooter instead of a safe queen. It has value, period. |

His last thread on the HiPower went the same way. He laid the bait and worked hard at getting people worked up...only to claim it was everyone’s fault for questioning his thought process and that he must destroy the firearm now... He’s either mentally ill or a troll, but regardless this discussion belonged in the GD.

RacyCarr caught a 7 day ban last month. I'd say it time to make it permanent.
Do a search on his username for threads he authored over 30 days old to get an idea of his modus operandi, i.e., trolling. |

That would be a really sick person.
There is a page full of old threads with the same behavior. (Deleting all of his comments.) I recognized the username, didn't recall anything remarkable from comments I had read. The longevity of this thread is the result of finding a subforum without a moderator, which leaves reports to staff, I guess. I would have moved it to GD before the end of the first page. |

Yes. Don't want any more forums. We have limited moderator authority to specific forums. All we can do otherwise if a Report is not getting action is to raise an alert in a moderator forum and hope staff sees it sooner or later.
