Luger Re-barrel

Cool, thanks for the info.

I don't understand the controversy over using or not using 20tpi threads. According to Sabato's blueprints the thread is an 18mm-1.270 metric thread, 55 degree BSW. However, 1.27mm is exactly equal to .050, or the pitch of a 20tpi thread. I've also purchased the proper 55 degree BSW full form threading inserts from Sandvik, so I should be able to make many barrels should the need arise.

It's odd that ammunition components would be an issue. Here in Canada we have easy access to the superb Starline brass, and it is no more expensive than 9mm brass from remington or Winchester. Dies are a bit of a pain to find, but not too terribly difficult either. Can't wai to get this Luger and put a couple boxes through it
