I figured after all the time and love I put into this, I should have a gunsmith who specializes in Lugers do the barrel index and headspace for me. I sent the whole upper off today to a guy who comes highly recommended. But here's what it looks like on mock-up.
When it gets back to me I'm thinking to make the whole gun uniform in finish, I may strip the barrel down to bare metal and just blue it and the extension together. The barrel is already rust blued but it's a bit more of a matte finish than what I did to the rest of the parts. My blue job has a bit more gloss and richness to it.
Either way this should be a nice shooter when I'm done. Looking forward to maybe even using it one time at Steel plate challenge just for a laugh.
