Here are a few pictures of the Broomhandle Lugerman replaced the barrel on.

This firearm had already been reblued and the berrel lined somewhere in its past. The barrel began to show signs of something wrong when it sterted keyholeing, so I opted to have Lugerman cut off the barrel and weld a new one on.

Tried it at the range, it shot very good groups but about 1 foot high at 50 feet. That is another story for the next post.

See pics below.

I made a mockup of the front sight modification out of black masking tape. I had deturmined it needed to be about .100 inch higher. After verifing at the range I made a steel insert to attach to the front sight with epoxy.

And glued it on.
