Well, the auctions are over. The 6 1/4" barrel was bought by "someone" [coff, coff] for $42; the 8" went for $31.
I'd say these prices are very good, as it would cost me in time more to machine these to this level of completion than my last employer paid me...IOW, more than two hours...

I git the 6 1/4" barrel in from Numrich today...I'm somewhat disappointed...
It may not be readily apparent, but the taper is quite 'fat' up where the shoulder is...More so than a 9mm or 7.65mm [100mm/98mm] barrel [first pic comparing 98mm/7.65 barrel to Numrich]... The Numrich barrel measures .710" at a point 5/16" forward of the receiver flange surface...The Luger 7.65 barrel measues .620" at the same point... I tapered a home-made 9mm barrel using 7.65 dimension at the barrel band and the point 5/16" from the receiver flange surface (IOW, a stretched 7.65mm taper)...That's it [second pic] compared to the Numrich barrel... While my homemade tapered & stretched barrel is no show winner, IMHO the profile is much more esthetic than the Numrich barrel... I don't see why the Numrich barrel was made so 'fat' at the rear... The 7.65 Numrich chamber is 'sloppier' than my Clymer-reamed barrels...Lot more 'wiggle'...Thread stub is right-on in length and diameter...Bore looks OK... Flange/shoulder is artillery thickness; not 98/100mm thickness...Numrich front sight band diameter is .008" greater; flange dia is .020" greater; end of taper in front is .018" less... The dimensions on the Numrich barrel don't equate to anything I have here...In 7.65 or 9mm...Even the 6 1/4" OAL length is odd... I suspect I'll probably end up re-tapering it...So that it has a 'stretched 7.65 barrel' taper, like my barrel in 2nd pic... Another Numrich mystery...

Another Numrich mystery for sure...
Whatever it is, I guess it's still better than starting with a blank. The chamber is a bummer though. Is there enough meat on the flange to cut back, so you can deepen the chamber? |
