As Yoda said the barrel like any other critical part is not drop in. Semi-drop in. That is kinda like semi-pregnant.
Well, the comments about drop-in barrels is not quite accurte. All the GI barrels I had for my GI pistols could be swapped without problems (Hi-standard, Colt, and match bbls). Of course, the tolerances were looser. And those GI guns just ran fine. I fitted a Kart barrel in my custom 1911. Took more work than the directions implied but I got it to work and it is a reliable and accurate shooter with a B&T suppressor. When you fit your own barrel you really learn how 1911 locking of the barrel to the slide works. |
| I had a Storm Lake "drop in" kit, that I used in my Ruger SR1911 without any issues. When I checked the fit on my O1980RG, it didn't even come close to fitting in the slide, let alone checking the lock up. I'd suggest contacting a good smith and having a barrel fitted to the Colt. |
