Hey Hugh!

Not having attempted this operation myself except on .22 caliber rimfires during my gunsmithing days over 2 decades ago... Just theoretically, I would think that this operation would best be accomplished by boring and sleeving the entire length of the barrel and then cutting a new chamber and bullet ramp.

As I recall, gunpartscorp.com (numrich) used to sell barrel liners in both .357 and 9mm and they were inexpensive.

If you could get one of those type liners, or just turn an appropriate length of any kind of 9mm barrel (say from a sten or uzi submachinegun barrel stub, or a .357 Dan Wesson revolver barrel)I would think that this would be an interesting project to attempt on one of the shot out barrels you have removed during a barrel replacement...

I would love to hear your thoughts on this...
