Howdie gents,
In the land Down Under we have a minimum barrel restriction on semi autos of 120mm (100mm for revolvers) and therefore Glock 19s are virtually impossible to obtain unless you have a security or dealers license. I have the chance to buy a Glock 19 very cheap as the seller has been unable to offload it for quite a while but I will need to rebarrel it.
If I can just drop in the barrel from a 17(technically the Aussie version which is a 17A before someone points out the normal 17 barrel is also too short) I willl have no worries but unfortunately the interwebs is giving me differing opinions as to wether this is possible
Any help appreciated.

Bit too long but I suppose I could have my gunsmith cut it down to legal length. Might have to give our Firearms registry a ring and find out for sure wether a barrel extension has to be rifled or not. from memory it doesn't so hopefully my gunsmith can just silver solder a bit onto the original barrel.
