GT barrel replacement!

G.T. installed a barrel for me, too. It is now on my lesser 1906 American Eagle (short frame), a 6" pencil taper .30 Luger, which was created by turning down a standard configuration barrel and modifying the sight block and barrel band. Our own Ed Tinker sold me the barrel, This replaces the nasty 3 3/4" military style barrel with mangled sight block and weird sight leaf that was on it when I scored the gun at RIAC a couple years ago.. I promise to post some pics in the near future. G.T. got the headspace correct, and the pistol actually seems to chamber/work better than before. A test mag with six rounds was gobbled up without any indigestion whatsoever! I report that I am one happy camper!

D.P.
