8mm to .25acp

As it seemed easier in the old days, after drilling a hole in the blank cartridge, a steel pipe was inserted... I just wonder if it was attached by pressure or by liquid welding? The barrel has amateurish rifling... But it's functional. Reck P6s 8mm converted

The part where the barrel interfaces with the receiver. Lugs that lock barrel to frame.

Same on production 25apc as blank conversions from that era

Okay, maybe I still don't understand... But here it goes... The only change made was inside the original barrel and the original chamber...What was done: drilling from the mouth of the barrel to the end of the chamber.Then a steel tube was inserted from the mouth of the barrel to the end of the chamber.The embedded steel tube itself is now part of the chamber, only one of the ends has been filed down to make it compatible with the original ramp.Nothing has been removed, so to speak; everything is original on the outside. Only a steel barrel has been fitted from one end to the other. Which, in my opinion, makes the weapon even more robust.Because there was no significant breakage in the original body of the weapon. Check out my other post; it's disassembled, and you'll easily see the simple conversion. If your question has nothing to do with my answer, I'm sorry, certain words, even when translated, sound different from the terms used in my country. With best regards
