Astra 400 barrel
« on: May 21, 2010, 07:29:47 PM »
Does anyone make aftermarket barrels for the Astra 400 chambered in 9mm parabellum? There used to be an outfit 8-10 years ago that made barrels; but, I haven't seen anyone lately. 9mm Largo ammo is getting hard to find. Thankyou.

I have a couple of Star Supers in 9mm Largo that I picked up for cheap back when they were flooding the market in the 80's.  Very well made, by the way.  The Shotgun News is a good place to find surplus Largo ammo.  Brass is available from Starline, and loaded ammo is also available in the Blazer aluminum case stuff.  Best bet for an Astra barrel would be the Shotgun News, or looking on-line.

Ex:  I believe the firm was/is Federal Arms - they made aftermarket barrels in current calibers for many different caliber handguns, and BigEasy is right about ammo and reloading component availability and also that the Shotgun News has adds for 9mm Largo.

You can find the 9mm largo at century arms for $3.87 for 25rds(box). Sarco has deals on it in the shotgun news too they have corrosive and non corrosive 9mm largo.  Stock up on it now before its long gone.

Thanks for the suggestions, fellers. Found a 9mm Luger barrel on GunBroker.
