714 Mauser Broom Handle Need Information

Some years ago Federal Ordinance put together some 714 BroomHandle pistols if memory serves me right they had Federal manufactured frames mated to surplus like new uppers. Does anyone know if the frames were cast steel or forgings.

Also I was under the impression that the original weapons besides being full auto were all of the caliber 7.65 mauser. Is this correct or were there also original 9mm luger chamberings? If there were only the 7.65 caliber models then Federal ordinance must of rebored their 9mm models that they sold.

What would be a fair purchase price for the 9mm model with shoulder stock and one 10 shot magazine and two 20 shot magazines?

Has anyone out there actually owned and fired the 9mm model. If so did it function as reliable as the original 7.65 caliber pistols? The reason I am asking is because I once owned a Red 9 model Boomhandle that was in very good condition and it failed to feed the very short 9mm rounds that were loaded in a magazine originally designed for the longer 7.65 mauser cartridge.

Any info about this model 714 variation would be greatly appreatiated.
