Does anyone make a P-38 barrel in 7.65mm Luger???
I see that Numrich shows a [used] 9mm P-38 barrel for $155...Looking at the pic, a threaded-in barrel could be done, but it would have a long thread...I.E., you couldn't use a Luger barrel without leaving some of the old rifling (and chamber) intact...
What I've always disliked about the thin-walled sleeves is that they need to be silver-soldered in...
Looking at a pic of the P-38 barrel, I like the idea of sawing off the old barrel, drilling & threading the breech block full-length, and turning a new barrel from a blank...With integral FSB...
But then I tend to get carried away with projects like these...
