IF anyone is out there who is pretty familiar within the Class III community, Do you know if there is a readily available (read that as cheap!) replacement Submachinegun barrel that has sufficient bulk to be machined into a Luger barrel?

UZI? Beretta? The widest portion of the Luger barrel is the flange and it generally measures .872 at the largest point...

If there is enough "meat" on one of these barrels, the front sight bast could be salvaged from an old shot out barrel and installed on the end of the appropriate taper...

Anyone know where to get 9mm (.355 bore) rifled barrel blanks at near Luger lengths that don't cost and arm and a leg?

These used to be plentiful and cheap from sources like Gun Parts Corp. (Numrich), but it has been a LOOOOOOONG time since I have seen any.
