GT sport-target bull bbl

I just received in the mail GT's 5" bull barrel and it is a beauty!
GT did the upper half for my shooter luger and the craftsmanship
and fit is excellent. The man is a legend in the professionalism
of his work. I would recommend all our members to consider
purchasing such a barrel assembly which significanily reduces
recoil and barrel rise.

Yes, I have a 4 inch - he made me a 5 inch also, but decided I liked the 4 and sold my 5

Although for most guns, I think the 5 inch is about perfect....

I've used and have both 4" and 5", they are great to shoot!

Someday I may have mine "blued", but just now they are in the white- just
like the OP's!

I like them so much I used a 3.5" one on my "baby"; shown with a picture of the 5" barrel below.

Hi To all! And thank you to Ray, Ed and Don! I set out to make a well balanced replacement barrel That was both affordable and practical, and I think it is a small success, but a success none the less?...

But I must give credit where credit is due... and that would be to Don, and Olle. Both have done the excellent mill work on these barrels! Another example of the talent we have, "in house" right here on this forum.... Thanks to all the members for their continued support... Best to all, til….lat'r.....GT....

GT is indeed the man-and a fine gentleman as well! Does the 5" barrel require a spring change to work properly with your shooter Lugers? Also, I'd love to see some groups shot with the 5" barrel. Thanks, Bill

No(at least on on the several lowers I have used with mine); but the 6" does, due to the extra weight.

Barrel shoots better than I can, group info/data would not mean much as it would be a test of "my" shooting(and seeing) ability, which is somewhat lacking.

Ransom rest info would be cool, if anyone had one to use for testing.
JMHO.
