Conversion to 9mm
 

I have a shooter grade 1920 DWM which I believe is a 30 cal. (9mm round only goes in partially into the barrel). Is it possible to switch to 9mm just by replacing the barrel and mags?

You only have to replace the barrel (and possibly the mainspring)...all the mags are the same.

great news! does it have to be an original manufacture or are there after-market repalcements available?

either, but not done by the average joe-blow. Have someone who knows lugers do it....

conversion
 

Georg intended that the conversion be done by replacing both the barrel and the recoil spring, same magazine for both. (The main spring is the little spring behind the striker, not involved here.)

Caveat: If you open up seven shooter grade Lugers you will find eight different recoil springs, no two alike. It's a crap shoot as to what you have for a recoil spring to begin with.

Here is mine:

Next time I travel to the USofA I can get a barrel and have it changed here. I must have the only parabellum pistol in the whole region, so parts are not easy to get.
