PP/PPK barrels

[sackofnoise]

Hi, i would like to know if there is possibility to switch barrel between PP, PPk or PPk/s (any compatibles between them?)(in the same caliber i mean)...

Thanks

I belive they are the same, just different lengths.

So you think (all 3? :O) are "compatible? (well would fit between each other?)

Thanks

PP are longer but would work in PPK or PPK/S. Not the reverse though.

And with which i would have more chance of getting in the EE, PP/PPK? thanks again

There's a nice manurin PP at zefarm.net. Didn't I hear they weren't allowing .32 to .380 conversions anymore?

Yes, it is illegal to change any .32 now (wasn't before as i heard)... still can change to restricted .380 (9mm short)....
Thanks

Looks great but in .32... really wonder why they illegalised conversion from .32 to a legal caliber in the first place... )

Hey, i've seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.65x21mm_Parabellum, which doesn't seem to be exactly .32, but the pp/ppk in 7.65mm is 7.65x17 right? (and is the 7.65x21 legal?)

All right, found out it is the illegal evil .32...

thanks

I've seen .32 legally converted to .380 at Bits of Pieces. The problem really is a gunsmithing one. I'd talk to a reputable, competent 'smith (like Barry Jensen at Bits of Pieces) to see if what you want to do can be done. In the US, years ago, I had a .32PP barrel put into a .32 PPK. Not a problem, but I wasn't switching calibers.
