John,
you are correct the barrel is not tapered, I can't post a photo right now because the barrel is headed to AZ. I agree getting a new barrel is the best option, but right now they seem to be hard to find.

We talking .32 cal. I'm sure its on the lower end of the pressure scale, so shaving a few .001's off the barrel I don't think will cause a problem as far as safety goes.

I have a .32 cal that my father in-law gave me, that was given to him by is grandfather and the barrel walls of that gun are half the thickness of this Mauser barrel.

Thank you everyone for your help

Jim
