Steve, About the only long frame lugers made were the M1900, early 7.65 M1906s, all Swiss, and all postWW2 (1970s) Mauser Parabellums since they were made on the M29 Swiss machinery. These will have a receiver and barrel (threaded area) about 1/8" longer than a standard PO8, so none of the commonly available new barrels will be long enough. I do have a few original 7.65x100 or 120mm barrels for these. Surprisingly, the ones with the new extractor cut are harder to find than the old style M1900.
