A 6" Luger barrel can be re-profiled to simulate the 'pencil-taper' barrel common on M1900 7.65 barrels...

The M1900/7.65 'pencil taper' is almost exactly like the Nambu profile.

I followed Dave's description on how he did it and am pleased with the results...Although I had not envisioned installing it on a Nambu, Nonte does comment in his 'Pistolsmithing' book that he had converted Nambu's to 9mm...
