Can anyone explain what a German gunshop means by "Maßlauf"? What makes it different from any other gun barrel?

Maß = either "measurement" or "custom made"
Lauf = barrel/rifled barrel

best i can figure it translates to "level run"

perhaps it means a flush non protruding barrel

or measure running. maybe indicating that the bore is still good, and the rifle still headspaces correctly?

It means that the rifle was refitted with a new barrel.
