30 Luger to 9mm Luger

rhuff · 08-31-2011, 05:52 PM

I own a 1920 Alphabet Luger with the short bbl. in 30Luger, and was able to locate and purchase, a 1940 receiver that had a new 6in 9mm bbl. attached. I had to have it head spaced to my breachblock, but it fits the commercial frame and works. I am still playing with springs, mags, ammo, etc. in an attempt to get both calibers to perform 100%. I may never make it, but I am a persistent soul, and a handloader, which I think will help a bit.
