Alternative Artillery Barrel Fabrication

If anyone has a blueprint for an artillery barrel please post it here for download. That is the one blueprint I am asked for most often, and not one in my possession. Thanks.

My time is limited as my employer decided to downsize...so the people left are forced to work days off, overtime, holidays etc...Leaving me very little time for projects...

It looks like i will have to make my own, as i got emails from both companies mentioned above...

Rich,

No, they are not stock. It could be done but the cost of 1 would be very high.

AW: Reproduction Luger Artillery barrel?

Hello!

sorry I have only a few Luger Artillery barrels in the original
caliber 9 mm Luger.I think you will have some problems to get a
Luger Artillery function in the cal. 7,65mm or .30 Luger because
of the heavy barrel weight.

Best regards,

Herbert Werle

So, if I have to make my own (again), I'll use the Mauser C96 rear sight [shortened] again, in a homemade sabot, and a Luger 1900 style front sight base with a Finnish front sight blade...but it'll take a while...

OK, I burned a vacation day...Not finished yet, but I'm starting to feel groggy...9+ hours on this...

This won't be an exact clone...I'm going to use a Broomhandle rear sight (shortened 3/8") and I like the Luger 1900 front sight base with a Finnish style front sight blade..
