I have a 1986 or so Buckmark and it was time for a new barrel, ordered one from Midwest gun works and this is what I received. I talked with them and emailed pics yesterday so waiting on a response back. They sound like a stand-up company so will see.
Thinking I should just clean it up and live with it yet ask for a discount back or would you want a better product. The rifling look questionable inside, but I can't compare it to my current barrel with no idea how many rounds I have put through it. It's a shit ton for sure, other parts have already been replaced.  " /> " />  " /> [/url]" />

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ske714: Tac-Sol is what you seek. https://tacticalsol.com/Products.aspx?CAT=13329 Well I already paid for this, and I would like to keep it original. And while those are nice I could dang near buy another Buckmark. That said there are probably cheaper Tac-sol barrels on fleabay. Not to mention that slab side original barrel is pretty accurate. |

I assumed you would be sending that back. You could clean it up, but obviously, you shouldn't have to. My original barrel was accurate, but not threaded. :) |

Looks like someone bought it, used it at the beach and then decided they did not want and returned it .

When I opened up the paper towel type wrapper they had it in I could tell right away something was up. I went back to the website thinking I missed the word "refurbished" somewhere, but it wasn't there. I just wonder what the rest of their inventory/parts bin is looking like though, guessing they don't sell many and they have been sitting awhile. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JimmyAR: The more I look at it, the more I am leaning that way. Definitely. At best that's an old stock barrel that's been sitting dried out for who knows how long. I don't recall ever returning anything to MGW, but I've had enough good experiences ordering that I can't see them hassling you over a return for replacement/refund. That said, and I know you want to keep the pistol all Browning, but I love the TacSol barrel I put in my Buckmark. Lighter and accurate. |

Just to follow up, they got back to me and emailed a return label and are shipping out another barrel. Hopefully they will inspect this one before shipping it out, so will see what shows up.

Good, and yeah, I hope the replacement is in better shape too.
