Frank, I think you are right on, we are getting the sequence messed up here. The Germans didnt design around the inch system, but the metric system, Barrels were made in 100mm, 150mm (navy) and 200 (Artillery), the rough lengths in English units are just rounded off some. I never have been clear on just what the 1920 commercial 7.65 mm barrels were 95mm, as I remember, they varied from 3 & 5/8" all the way up to 4" but the ones I have seen are mostly 3 & 3/4" which probably were 95 mm barrels. Were the Carbine models actually 300 mm barrels? All this converting is giving ol Thor a hammer headache!!! <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
