Rebarrel .30 Luger to 9mm Luger

Louis Kleber · 05-07-2009, 12:18 AM

I have a 7.65mm/.30 Luger Commercial Model. Of course, getting ammo is expensive (except for Fiocchi) and often
difficult. Should .30 Luger ammo dry up, would it be practical to
rebarrel to 9mm. Has anyone done this? How expensive? Who
does it? Thanks.

Definitely rebarrel, don't reline because that way you can always switch back to the original caliber if you want to.

Check with LugerDoc... he supplies the barrel and does the labor, and checks the headspace all RIGHT, and test fires it.... you won't be disappointed.

Don't forget to replace the recoil spring...
