Just purchased a 1923 commercial 7.65 DWM luger. Great looking gun with all matching and good rifling. Tried to insert a bottleneck 7.63 Mauser into barrel and bullet would not go in fare enough, sticking out about a good 1/8 inch. looked around on the internet and saw an article that states a.380 and 7.65 are the same...Tried to slip a 380 into the barrel and it sticks out too far also. Just what ammo am I suppose to be using in this gun?
