i changed the barrel on my norinco with a wilson combat and i wanted to know if the fit and the condition of the barrel is ok, after +/- 600rds of reloaded ammo here's how the lugs look...is it ok? i noticed that the middle lug has more contact than the first lug (the one nearest the muzzle, that's # 1 right?) .......i also attached a picture of the lower lugs.. i marked it with a sharpie and showed how the lower lugs rest on the slide stop. BTW i marked it about +/- 100 rds ago and i also used wilson's link no. 5 coz its the only one that passed the swing test...need your insights guys...thanks in advance

here are the pics of the upper and lower lugs:

Looks pretty normal to me. It pretty common for the front lug to show more engagement/wear than the second, IIRC. I'm about 8,000 miles away from any of my 1911s right now though, so I can't check.
