But Ed was my target, he does not "need" to accpt a 9mm barrel if he does not really want to.

Thanks much, Vilm.
This one appears to be the "middle" iteration with two leaves of equal thickness, in this case the indicated 0.9mm.

Met the gentleman on-line when he asked for help on it about 2.5 yrs ago - revisited the discussion to buy from him several times, and we just couldn't agree. Then after I moved, I talked to him and we struck a deal and then all the above (see first posting in this thread)
-------------- Almost finished product. This was a long, but short project. I want to thank Don Voigt for helping me so much, he provided the barrel and much skill. I got the sights from Tom Heller from a 9mm barrel he had, I decided to stick with the original caliber of 7.65mm, and Don tested it with PPU after much labor and putting it together. Thanks to Ron Wood , Dwight Gruber, Jerry Burney and GT (Gerald Tomeck) for advise, pictures and encouragement. --- Later decision is there whether to send it to Danner and have him reblue it all in the old way, so its not so shiny and all looks alike, then do I want to have Jim re-checker it all for me? ------------------ Specifications 1900 DWM All matching to include carbine stock 7.65mm Barrel, proper length of a carbine |

Ed,
thanks for the kind words. I am proud to have been involved in saving this mistreated old carbine! I want to add my thanks to all who contributed information, parts, and encouragement during the project, it was a "village" effort for sure. I vote for a trip to Danner asap for a rust blue finish, it will look great - without the "shine". At the same time, you can get Jim to refresh the wood checkering, stain, and give it a little finish- you won't believe how good it will look! JMHO.

Magical!! REALLY nice and came together much faster than I thought it might! I agree with Don..Get Danner to rust blue it and straw. Get the checkering gone over..You will have a piece to be proud of!
Does it shoot?

I am sitting at my work desk at home and it arrived about 3 hrs ago - so have not shot it, but Don test fired it before barrel conversion and afterwards.

I've posted these before: 16" 9mm barrel, and 11.75" 7,65mm barrel , each with it's own receiver making a "zwilliger" carbine( is that even a word?), i.e. twin caliber carbine. Picture shows the 16" bbl upper installed; I can't find a picture of the finished 11" upper. Wood checkered and finished by Jim Solomon; rust blue by Charles Danner. I made the fore arm from scratch, and the stock was a semi-inlet blank I got from Sheepherder- but I don't remember who made it.
