I'll let you draw your own conclusions on the rest...

That the conclution must be.. it is no Lahti barrel I have been fooling around with Thanks for your input!

Here are the pictures I took to compare, what it thought was a lahti barrel is to the right on both picture.

..not the best picture. The length and muzzle area is what fooled me into believeing it was from a Lahti.

I have seen several Finnish Lugers on GB lately (almost bought one!) with what were described as "Tikka" barrels on them...(pic attached)...

It would be very easy to shorten a "Tikka" barrel and deepen the chamber and mount it on a Luger receiver...

It's my understanding that "Tikka" made both 4" and 5" Finnish pattern barrels for the Luger...The front sight is distinctive; different dovetail, too...

Here's the cartouche on a Finnish "Tikka" barrel...(This is on a Luger, IIRC)...

Steinar - Is your pic of a "Tikka" 5" barrel???...That would be cool on a Luger!!!

Postino, I'm fumbling in the dark about this barrel.. Glad you pointed out that it's not a Lahti.
I'm no expert, but from pictures I don't think it looks like a Tikka eighter..

Here is a picture of the barrel attached to a Luger (second from the bottom). Please share your thoughts what it can be.

Btw. never had a lahti on my belt, but occasionally a Luger

Edit: it looks scratched/rough on that last picture due to the flash, it's actually smooth and is probably unused.

I'm certainly no expert either...But that looks like a Luger front sight, not a Lahti (like in that GB pic of a Luger with Luger/Lahti in post #9 above)...

How long is it???

Hi Steinar! I probably have the Lahti that you carried for two years in military service!

The Lahti barrel tenon is ~.160" longer; has a cut on the left for the "accelerator" cam; a notch on the right for the extractor; and the notch on the top is thinner and squarer than the Luger (you can just make this out in the 2nd pic above).

The thread is the same, and I still find this odd...

Here's my Lahti.
