Building a shooter
I have decided to build a 30 caliber shooter. Hope this is a good start.

Excellent choice...
Looks like a great start! now look for some 20 commercial stuff... and start building!! lot'sa fun.. but you need some serious patience as they don't usually just "bolt up" like an AR....
 ...Best of luck to you...til...lat'r....GT

Steve,
You do realize that the barrel you bought is for a long frame/receiver found on the Model 1900 and some Model 1906 Lugers and won't work on later receivers such as a 20 Commercial? That is what Rick was referring to as long shank/short shank. If you think about cutting it down it is a bit involved and will require re-chambering and head spacing. I was considering buying it for one of my long frame projects but never got around to it. If you decide to go for another barrel and not modify this one, let me know.

Hi Ron, I do realize it is for the earlier long frame. Was just looking around on ebay and saw this and it looked to me like it had been sprung especially since someone took a pair of pliers to it. I am looking for a long frame for my project. Eventually I'll find one.
