primer piercing?

John Sabato · 11-20-2017, 10:56 AM

Here is an idea... I have never tried it but I don't know why it would not work. How about sleeving the barrel, or better yet if the rifling is okay, cutting and reaming the chamber wide and sleeving only the chamber? Just machine and then silver solder a newly made chamber liner into place...

Sort of like putting a new sleeve into an engine block...

Hi John! Good to hear from you! All good ideas to try, but with nice new barrels still costing around $100.00, it's probably best to spend the time elsewhere?

... Then, you also have a liability issue to consider as well, if it fails for ANY reason, the blame always go back to the modifier, as in, you become the factory! But, the input is sound and appreciated, it does seem such a waste... BUT...
I installed a new "MADE IN GERMANY" 4" 9mm barrel, and it is snug on closing to the -GO- gage, and it range tested perfectly?...
All the piercing issues disappeared... Everyone is happy now.... Best to all, til....lat'r....GT....
