Gentlemen:
Guru1911 needs to assistance to research a barrel for a mauser c-96 "broom-handle" pistol.

Research i have completed, indicates this barrel is a "modell 1930" series, early model "step-barrel". Serial #829682 & chambered for 9mm parabellum. Everything checks out as the real deal, except for one thing---the barrel length !!!!!

From muzzle to the "step" it measures 8.75" & 14.50" from muzzle to the front of the cocking piece. Way too long for this series of pistols according to websites i investigated. Sorry, but i have no photos for you to look at.
