you are correct. I should learn to read better
A member here sent me an insert for 7.62x25 to fit a 7.62x54r. I have a "shooter" M44 carbine that would be a good test bed for the insert. Oh man, we bought a boat load of 7.62x25 surplus for $75/1000 back in the day. Dusted a few out of my old T33. Then we found out some of it was a bit hot!
What about someone just making up a fabricated mould that would overlay over a TT33 or M57 pistol that fit along the lines of products like this
If someone was artistic they could make up one fine mad max style mould to go over those style of pistols. If they work on Glocks, Sigs and Berettas why not some Tokarev's

That's right.
A 1:20 twist rate will stabilize an 86 grain RN bullet even at 850 fps, so any twist rate that's 1:20 or faster would be fine. That said, most 30 cal barrels will be 1:10, 1:12 or 1:14 twist which would all be ok. If you want the ability to shoot something heavier than 110 grs, especially subsonic, go to the common 1:10.

I've built a couple.
Three actually.
One was built on a non restricted M1 Carbine and it has a 1-15 twist rate with a .308 diameter bore. It's very accurate and very similar to the 30 M1 Carbine round.
Two was built on a 1907, 351 Winchester semi auto. The rifle was a beater but cleaned up well. I sleeved the barrel, again with a 1-15 twist rate and a .308 bore. The magazine fed flawlessly. accurate.
The third was built on a Zastava Mini Mauser that started like as a 223 Remington and had a burst barrel at the muzzle. The previous owner was going to shoot a fish and stuck the muzzle below the surface of the water. It was cheap sooooooooo. It worked well but of course it needed to be fitted to accept a Tokarev magazine. It had a 1-20 twist rate and it also shot well. Labor of love, I wouldn't do it again.
OP, hope this helps.
Don't be afraid to use a .308 bored barrel. You're never going to develop enough pressure to worry about it.
