I have made a shortened mainspring and guide, it just isn't installed in the photo (I can install and remove mainsprings but it is still a pain in the butt for me...weak hands I guess). Once (if and when) I get all the pieces completed and put together it will require "tuning" of the mainspring to get it to cycle reliably with standard ammo. I plan (ha!) to make it a 9mm.
One of the things holding up the barrel installation is getting a "long" threaded shank barrel to match the long receiver on the gun. I finally got one but as I told you in the PM there are still some hurdles to overcome.
