I know I can't afford 1st class
Thanks for the link. It's been a while since I've been to RealGuns.
The .17-357 project sounds interesting. But I was wanting to go in a bigger direction.
I am making a semi auto pistol barrel

If you want a fun and cheap project, convert a Tokarev to 9x23mm.
It can be done on a small lathe with a 64 piece drill set and a Tokarev 9mm barrel.
Buy some Win 9x23mm or Starline 9mm Supercomp brass, use your 9mm dies, and you are getting 357 mag full house loads from a semi auto.
I think the 9x23mm was more fun that the 7.62x25mm long barrel project.

"Buntline" Tokarev & 9X23MM
If that barrel is 18" or more, couldn't you legally attach a shoulder stock to it?
Over on GB we were casting about for ways to build a 7.62 X 25MM Carbine, and building up on a CZ-52 was one option discussed.
What size drill did you use to rechamber that 9MM?
Did you grind the end back about a quarter inch as a "Pilot" and leave the shoulder square where it transitions back up to case dia.?
I want to do it to a CZ-52 9MM barrel I have, but I think I'll stay with LARGO on that. Someday may fool with such a conversion on my my Polish Tokarev if I can get a good deal on a 9MM barrel for it.
Are parts between various Countries of Mfr. of TOKS reasonably interchangeable?

Ideas Running Together...
I think I'm getting you a little confused here, cpileri, by running my ideas together. ??
The 7.62X25MM Carbine is a toatally seperate concept from the pistol converted to 9X23MM.
But now that you mention it... a 9X23 WinMag Carbine might be an interesting thought at that!
You may have started something, here!
