Hi Rick, Yes, I would not have any problem making a new barrel until it gets to the front sight as you mentioned... Not having access to a mill I'm kinda outta luck until I can get one... I'm really impressed by the close tolerances held on all the different parts thruout the many years of production... A clean thread and close fit seem to be the main criteria as you mentioned in your previous post... It never fails, i just sold a slew of barrels on GB and now I'm looking around for ones to try and fit to use as comparators... Like most things in life, I've got the buy sell thing backwards too...
... Proceeding with caution! Thanks Rick and all, best to you guys,....
