I have seen several Finnish Lugers on GB lately (almost bought one!) with what were described as "Tikka" barrels on them...(pic attached)...

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...
