9mm ammo

Kurusu,

Perhaps.

I've "read" this too, somewhere, but have never been able to verify it.

Can an expert here verify this claim, through an actual, physical chamber examination of a byf 42?

Also, I haven't been able to locate any original German text documentation supporting this.

Thanks!

I read it too. But to me the proof is:

A friend of mine (retired militay) has one of our contract byf 42s (n block). It has conic chambers and it has never been messed with.

Mauser worked on a request by the army and developed a hand reamer for the job. But since the P08 was already near the end of production in 1942, not much importance was given to the project.

Factory documents on the subject did survive.

Portuguese 5012m also has no step.

Vlim,

A hand reamer would seem to indicate a field modification, not a change in factory barrel design modification.

Your thoughts?

It was on service before he purchased it. And we didn't ream the chambers.

I don't pretend to know the square root of eff all about this subject, but two pages and I have yet to hear any concrete reason as to why the OP's ammo would be harmful to a Luger, or any other gun. All I'm reading here is FUD - come on guys, we can do better than this.
