I believe gunsmith and writer J. B. Wood came up with sort of a solution to the scarcity of ammo. He took a steel M1 Carbine case and cut a ring off of it to go inside the chamber. He then hand cycled .32 ACP ammo through the gun. Don't recall how accurate this setup was but it did get the gun back in action again.
The French 7.65x20 longue was developed in French specifically for the Pedersen, which would have been cal..30-18 in US service.Isn't the .32 French Long the cartridge developed for the Pederson Device?
