changing to 6" barrel
 

can the Stoeger, Mitchell Arms, or Mauser (1917 vintage) be modified to accept a 6" barrel if originally set up for a 4"? Where do you get the barrel and how do you get it installed? Gunsmith or do it yourself?

Sarco offers new unblued 9x150mm (6") barrels that will fit most PO8 lugers (not sure if they will work in the new stainless copies) for around $100. The installation should be done by someone with experience in this area and the proper tools for the job --- namely me or Hugh Clark. The barrel change, head spacing, chamber ream (if necessary) and test firing will cost about $100 + insured return S&H. Cost of bluing the barrel and sight installation will be extra.

Thats not a bad price Lugerdoc. I'll have to start saving my pennies.

Dennis,

The person who made all of the stainless Lugers is still making them and still repairs them. You might want to call Mr. Romo at "Orimar Firearms Manufacturing, inc. to see if he has the stainless barrel that you want. If he has the part I am sure he can install it properly. The contact info for Orimar is on the Links & Resources page of this website.

Hope this helps,

Chris
