I have only heard mention of the .30 Luger variety, and vaguely recall reading something about it's fitting both calibers. As you point out, its walls would be pretty thin, and I also wonder what it would do under pressure of firing. I think it would be OK snugly installed in a 7.65 mm bore, as it would be supported, at least by the lands in the bbl. But an unsupported, skinny wall? This question is certainly justified--40-45 thousandths ain't much! The kits were more popular in Europe, I think, in part because of restrictions on the number of pistols one can own in certain countries. I hope Gerben and Mauro see this and have an answer.
