My time is limited as my employer decided to downsize...so the people left are forced to work days off, overtime, holidays etc...Leaving me very little time for projects...

It looks like i will have to make my own, as i got emails from both companies mentioned above...

Rich,

No, they are not stock. It could be done but the cost of 1 would be very high.

Subject:
AW: Reproduction Luger Artillery barrel?
From:
"Waffen Werle Dudenhofen/Speyer" <info@waffen-werle.de>

Hello!

sorry I have only a few Luger Artillery barrels in the original
caliber 9 mm Luger.I think you will have some problems to get a
Luger Artillery function in the cal. 7,65mm or .30 Luger because
of the heavy barrel weight.

Best regards,

Herbert Werle


So, if I have to make my own (again), I'll use the Mauser C96 rear sight [shortened] again, in a homemade sabot, and a Luger 1900 style front sight base with a Finnish front sight blade...but it'll take a while...

This won't be an exact clone...I'm going to use a Broomhandle rear sight (shortened 3/8") and I like the Luger 1900 front sight base with a Finnish style front sight blade.. .
