[ARCHIVED THREAD] - .45 cap barrel?

Posted: 8/1/2008 2:49:07 PM EDT

Where can I find a .45 acp barrel all set up to be installed (extension/gas port)? I've looked around and can't seem to find any, even on gunbroker. thanks

Olympic Arms makes the only factory .45 ACP barrels. No gas port as their .45 guns are blowback operated. There are no gas driven .45 ACP set ups due to the low pressure round.

I'm looking for the acp barrel to rechamber to a wildcat I'm working on. I forgot that the acp is blow back, i can drill the port myself, the barrel threading is beyond my capabilities at the moment.

Gun Parts Corp sells 10" and 16" Thompson SMG barrels for about $110. You can cut the chamber area off and rechamber the barrel or just rechamber the existing chamber if you wildcat is larger in diameter than the .45 ACP brass.

Olympic Arms is the only maker of a .45 ACP barrel and it has a cone shaped barrel extension similar to an AR15 barrel extension. Just no lugs. If you are looking for a .45 barrel with an AR15 barrel extension, noone makes one. It will have to be a custom job. Kurt at Kurts Custom Firearms can make and install an Oly type barrel extension to a Thompson barrel or install a lugged AR15 extension.
