New K date - different barrel length :)
 
4 Attachment(s)
Ok, here is my K date I just got back from GT

He did a heck of a nice job, this was the barrel I picked up at auction, and the upper was a nice K date, but a mismatched, import marked barrel, so no guilt at making an 8 inch K date.

Afterall, when Eugene gets done with my carbine, it'll be a G date Carbine :cool:

Purrrrr't Do you anticipate problems with toggle because of length of barrel? Ejection, shell loading??

Edward Tinker 05-04-2015 05:37 PM

I don't, as the artillery was an eight inch; but the upper is really tight, thinking I should have used another upper I have, just thought a K date upper sounded cool.

I have shot 8 inch barrel in 30 luger and 9mm and not had an issue, now, 16 inch, I have never had good luck except as single shots...

So, we;ll see.

That GT does do some nice work. That would a nice choice for your carbine if everything works good for you.

Nice looking unit, Ed!

Really Cool! I like long barreled Lugers. Owning a long barreled K date is awesome.

Ed: Perhaps you could be starting a fad??
I realize that it is no substitute for your new, old carbine.
But it should get your mind off the carbine for a little while.
