I'm looking at getting a threaded barrel for my Israeli made 1911. I am interested in finding out what the main differences are between the "drop-in" and the "Some Gunsmithing" barrels , other than the blatantly obvious. What part usually needs work to fit the barrel? The bushing area? Are the drop ins inherently a bit less accurate due to lock up? I know Jarvis makes them and probably Bar-sto, but who else? Storm lake seem to make X40 TPI but I need X28 TPI. Thanks |

Gunsmith type barrels are oversize and require extensive fitting. See http://www.blindhogg.com/gunsmith/barrel.html "drop-in" parts aren't as oversized, and often require less extensive fitting. they aren't necessarily "drop-in" an improperly fitted barrel can result in damage, such as sheared lugs, broken links, etc. GI guns were generously toleranced in part to ease changing of parts, such as barrels. |
Just what I was looking for. Thanks. I is edujmecated......... I think. I also look into those barrels mentioned. |
