I have an M40 Lahti and P08 Luger barrel laying here...The thread is indeed 18mm x 20tpi on each...
 I'll let you draw your own conclusions on the rest...

..not the best picture. The length and muzzle area is what fooled me into believeing it was from a Lahti.

It would be very easy to shorten a "Tikka" barrel and deepen the chamber and mount it on a Luger receiver... It's my understanding that "Tikka" made both 4" and 5" Finnish pattern barrels for the Luger...The front sight is distinctive; different dovetail, too... |

Here's the cartouche on a Finnish "Tikka" barrel...(This is on a Luger, IIRC)...
Steinar - Is your pic of a "Tikka" 5" barrel???...That would be cool on a Luger!!!

Comparison of Lahti and Luger front sights...(sights courtesy of Numrich, 20+ years ago)...

The Lahti barrel tenon is ~.160" longer; has a cut on the left for the "accelerator" cam; a notch on the right for the extractor; and the notch on the top is thinner and squarer than the Luger (you can just make this out in the 2nd pic above). The thread is the same, and I still find this odd... Here's my Lahti.
