[bill mc donough]

i have a 18 1/2 inch barrel more or less a carbine the weight of the barrel slows down the action i hade a luger with a 16 inch in 9 mm but sold it both had custom loads made by a freind of mine in westwood n.j. the 18 inch is 30. cal i put in standard fiocchi it would fire but not cycle the 9mm did the same so if you want carbine lenth you will have to do the same good luck remember i had a expert of 25 years of reloading do it it is not for beginners
