I just got an old Thompson A-O (West Hurley) 1911. It will need a new barrel for sure, plus a few other parts. But, other than some minor rust, the frame and slide seem to be in pretty good shape. I bought it because my son told me that he wanted to save up his money and buy a 1911. So I thought that this would be a fun little project for us. My question is this. What barrel fits the best on these??? I tried to put the barrel from a S-A Mil Spec in it, but it didn't fit properly. I was gonna get an Ed Brown or something. But should I just get one from A-O? I really don't want to have to take it to a gunsmith at all.
