If so, any details shared would be appreciated. Thanks.
Bore out??? Smooth bore 9mm???

If you mean reline to 9mm, yes, there are a couple companies who do it. Do a Search for 'reline'.

Gerry Tomek [G.T.] might be interested in such a project, too.

But it's so relatively easy to just swap out the 7.65 bbl to a 9mm that it's not really economical.
