I have a WH Auto Ordnance LW 1927a1. I bought it used and did some smithing on the bolt, trigger to get it to shoot half way good. I had to put in a new Khar bolt which had to be milled to fit, and now it runs without a hitch with every pull of the trigger. It even runs with my bridgeport drum flawlessly with all 50rds.
I would say that it would be fine to get a new one. Install a 1928 lyman sight, early drum, and lots of ammo.
Watch out using reloads from a friend, I ran a drum full that he made along with a double charge. It didn't hurt the gun or anyone, but made a large blast out the ejection port. Had to dig case out with niddlenose pliers.
LOL
