I wasn't sure if I should post this here or the gunsmithing section, but here goes.
I have a question about the forcing cone on my recently purchased k38/pre14 Serial Number K80,XXX. I hope the pictures are adequate to describe the pistol.
I recently came into this K38, it is in nice shape. It has all matching numbers and I just have a weakness for 5 screw guns. It seemed a pretty good deal, so I grabbed it.
After the 10 day wait, I found that it had a forcing cone that looks almost like it has been crowned. I checked it and looked at my other K38/Pre14 and and the comparison pictures are below
Below is the picture on the forcing cone of the new to me K38, Serial Number K80,XXX
Below is the forcing cone of anohter of my k38s, Serial Number K173,XXX
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has seen this kind of thing before, or has an idea of why such a modification would have been done if it was a modification at all.
I'm mostly just curious, any insight would be appreciated.
