OK...suggestions for barrel lengths??

[lfid]

Hi GT,

as a secondary design - that could use same simplified machine setup/program as a tapered barrel - perhaps also a 5" or 5.25" length in bull barrel format with crowned muzzle 9mm - seems it would be an easy derivative of the tapered typical factory profile

could be max constant external diameter that will allow clearance with the internal frame rails or at least same diameter as the standard barrel flange diameter at slide mount face

no front sight to allow further customizations with user selected sight options or perhaps front sight as customer order or use with side mount laser or scope

good luck and thanks !!! for working this barrel project

Hi Bill, that is an excellent suggestion... although I know the mass of a bull barrel of max dia. and a certain length is too much for the luger action... it will affect recoil.. John V. Martz did a lot testing on this to see what they could and couldn't get away with.. that is why my custom .30 Target Luger made by JVM has slab sides on it so it would function with factory loads.. I think it was marginal to start with, but with the slab sides it works perfectly! Maybe that is a consideration.. we'll see... lot'sa beach to cross before we get past the baby turtle stage! All ideas are welcome and considered... best to all, til...lat'r...GT
