Blind eye,

Anyone who can turn barrels can make one for a Luger. I sell the blueprints for the P.08 and any part you want can be manufactured by a machinist/gunsmith for a price. See the sticky post in the For Sale forum for the Blueprints.

The hard part about the standard Luger barrel is the machining of the integral front sight base into the barrel. It can be done, but it isn't easy, or cheap.

flytrout,

You can't make the barrel too heavy, or you will have a great deal of difficulty getting the action to function without using hot ammunition... and the Luger is not designed for HOT ammo. That is the reason that the 16 inch barrel has to be so slender.
