Im lookin to get one around 1k if possible.
Thanks!

You might be interested in a Finnish Luger, with the '4.75 inch' Tikkakoski barrel. My pic shows an 'S/42' Mauser w/'4 inch' barrel; Tikkakoski '4.75 inch' barreled action; and a '5 inch' barrel.
Lengths are relative. A '4 inch' Luger barrel is a breech-to-muzzle measurement [including threads portion], with ~3 3/16" actually showing in outer profile (the S/42 below). The Tikkakoski is ~4 3/4" overall length, but only shows ~4" in outer profile.
Edit: There is a Finnish Luger on GB right now. It is overpriced by about $400 but shows the '4.75 inch' 9mm Tikkakoski barrel (2nd pic).
