What's the original spec's on barrels???

[G.T.]

Hi to all! I have seen many luger barrels, and also, the little 8.8x stamps on the bottom of the barrel, I never really did the math, just used to look at them for correctness! Now I'd like to know?? What was the original bore dia. (most common) and the direction and rate of twist on original 9mm P.08 barrels??? If someone desired it, what twist would be best for cast 9mm bullets?? Who makes the most comparable blank to the originals today?? I priced a few blanks that I found just <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> surfing the net! Holy Schnikies!!! They were prohibitivly expensive!! Anyone have some good leads on reasonably priced blanks! best to all! til...lat'r....GT
