The cast is definitely 9mm para. So I don't have to brass dive for the 7.63 Mauser amy longer.
The barrel is tight at (4.008") 4". I do think this gun was an original Prussian red nine due to the matching grips and follower being exclusive to 9mm. We will never know why the upper was changed out but it is a Mauser upper originally stamped in the Prussian contract range, but restamped with a completely different font than original
Mausers.
So it's a Frankenstein but a darn nice looking one!!
