Quote HistoryQuoted: Rifle or handgun? What was wrong? You should share your experience. Glock 17;barrels . Would not go through a magazine without failure to go into battery . Replaced with a Glock barrel and solved the problem. Sold them and disclosed the problems to the buyer. I bought 2 and both had the same problem neither would go through a full magazine without choking at least once. |

I got one a while back. Not the most accurate barrel but was functional. Put oem back in and stuffed it in a box somewhere. It will eventually grow into another pistol someday.

Damn, I was gonna jump all over this but I think I'll go with one each to see if they work. Thanks for the heads up, OP! |

I got one of the 19 threaded barrels last time someone posted about them. It was a bit tight at first, had to hand cycle the slide a few times. It loosened up and hasn’t failed to function yet during actual use.

Many cheaper threaded Glock barrels don’t have enough “stand-off” for the thread shoulder from the front of the slide. So on Gen 4 Glocks the RSA can hit the rear of the can/booster on many suppressors. A longer piston or even a skinny spacer can help. Barrels from Lone Wolf, SiCo, KKM typically have a little more length.

I got my non threaded $29.99 G19 barrel in the mail from this week.
External fit and finish, crown, etc all looks surprisingly good. Rifling is slightly rough, but I wasn’t expecting polished perfection. Should be able to get out and shoot it on Tuesday. |

Rifle or handgun? What was wrong? You should share your experience. Lol. Why do you think they are marked down $170 to $29? Because no one needs a G17 barrel or because they don’t work? Take a guess…. An out of spec barrel is the one thing I wouldnt play around with. Mini grenade in the chamber. |

Got outside this morning to try out my $35 G19 barrel.
Hand cycled a few rds first and seemed GTG. Shot 105 rds thru it and had two FTE malfunctions. Not sure why, my handloads are usually 100% reliable . I'll try some factory loads next time to see if that makes any difference. May have to tweak the load a bit to get a little more ooomph. Waiting for the piston to arrive so can try it with a Gemtech suppressor, don't have a 9mm can, I'm primarily a .45 guy. |

Are they sold as drop-ins or do they say some fitting required?
Having to fit a handgun barrel for maximum lockup isn't exactly a new or bad thing. Also, do they have any threaded M&P barrels at that price? |

Kaboom These aren’t being discounted becasue no one wants threaded barrels. They are discounted because they have undisclosed issues that cannot be fixed. |

I just sent them an email asking if there is a hardness issue or any other problem that would affect safety. I'll post the response I get. |

I got a G19 threaded barrel that locked my gun up bad. I had to hammer it with a rubber mallet to finally free it up.
To be fair, I got a replacement from them and worked fine. |

I have one of their G19 barrels in a p80 build from a few years ago. Not expecting much but it fits and I have had no issues with.
Have bought their ar uppers and lots of small parts. So far, no issues. Not doubting others who have had issues, but my experience has been good. |

 Attached FileBore scope revealed the rifling is well… Rough. To be expected. Shot about 25 rounds today. Rapid fire I was able to keep most on a 2/3 IDPA steel at 25 yards. Not a small pie plate group like a stock glock, but I guess it will do for a cheap barrel. More importantly it ran just fine in my PSA dagger. |

I’ve got an RMR capable glock clone with a weapon light for $280 bucks right now. Seems like a decent deal to me. I might upgrade the barrel at some point due to the accuracy sucking, but for now it’s fine. I’ve wasted $30 on dumber shit trust me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you have a single concern these barrels might not be safe? No. Companies do some dumb shit, but one thing they don’t do is put out discount barrels because they know the metallurgy is bad. That would open them up to potentially hundreds of lawsuits, wiping out any financial gain of blowing them out at $30 a pop. They are blowing them out because the rifling is absolute shit. That’s fine, it’s not a match pistol. ETA people fire rifles here made by third world communist countries nearly a hundred heads ago all the damn time and don’t bat an eye. Rifles that fire at much higher pressures than the measly 9mm Luger. This barrel doesn’t give me any more concern than my Romy G build or Yugo SKS. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The cost of those rifles on the US market has nothing to do with their quality or cost of manufacture. They were made in a 3rd world shithole. I don’t think the Russians worried about rifles blowing up. Many of them sat in crates unfired until arriving in the US. Nobody worried about them blowing up. A US based manufacturer is blowing out barrels, who certainly would be concerned if metallurgy was going to cause safety issues resulting in a lawsuit and now everyone is worried about it for some reason. Shit, I remember when Bear Creek Arsenal was giving away AR barrels to veterans and nobody was worried about their barrel blowing up at the time. Bottom line my barrel didn’t blow up, even after it shot some factory +P. So no I don’t worry about it. |
