C96 bolo relining or rebarrel

I'd think twice about getting it relined to 9mm. Just MHO. witha supply of Starline brass, appropriate bullets and the usual primer, powder you can reload quite reasonably. I use Lyman molds for years to cast hard lead bullets that worked great. I used to shoot my first broomhandle every weekend for years. Hardly every had a feed issue. All of the 9mm versions I've had, to my knowledge originals all were finicky. I'd stay with the original 7,63mm if it were me.

It is your pistol so do what works for you but consider the original round.
