You are so right about the lack of good quality gunsmiths anymore. It is a an art form that is dying out.

Hi:

The answer seems easy to me. By a replacement barrel, install it and save the old "matched barrel" incase you need to put it back on.

Don't forget your springs when replacing a 7.65mm with a 9mm, as your Luger will likely jam.

I think we have several qualified people on the forum that could help you with the replacement.

Just my thoughts.

Why are 7.65 componants getting hard to get. There seems to be an "adequate" supply of bullet types available, though certainly not as many varities as the 9mm.
