How to tell barrel length?

vernonsmith · 12-29-2009, 10:01 AM

Is anyone able to help how do I measure the barrel length of my Luger? From the muzzle end to which part of the breech section? Any pictorial illustrations how to get the measurement?

Thanks in advance.

Stick a thin pencil or dowel down the barrel until it contacts the breechblock, mark it at the muzzle, pull it out and measure the length. Easy as pie.
