I have seen a couple 20 commericals in the last 40 years, that had long frame barrels installed in short receiver using this spacer technique. In fact, I have several of these barrel spacers, that I got with other parts from a heir of the Pacific Arms Corp. For sale @$10 each, for anyone foolish enough to want to waste a good long frame barrel on a short frame receiver. I rather see you trade it to me for the correct length new short frame barrel. Incidentally, yesterday I received a quote from a Germany barrel maker, who is willing to make new long frame 9x150mm (6") barrels for us (minimum of 10) with either the standard or high Navy front sight base (for your M1906 Navys) @$200 each. With added S&H and import duties, they will probably retail for at least $250. I will consider bringings some to US, if there is enough interest. TH
