Anyone know what the LCP barrel depth should be ?

[tblt]

Some people are getting barrels because corbon and remington won't seat all the way in the barrel.
My LCP barrel depth is .680 ,this is .008 longer than the case length
Anyone with a new replacement barrel meashure yours yet?
Mine was test fired on 7/17/08
I shot 100 rounds WWB without a problem

By barrel depth, I assume you are asking about chamber depth, or headspace?

Regardless, that has nothing to do with Corbon or Rem not chambering.

It is the leade, or taper from the front of the chamber into full depth rifling that is causing the problem.

Due to the shape of the bullet, it is hitting the rifling before the case seats against the shoulder at the end of the chamber.

Kel-Tec had a similar problem with some defective P3AT barrels last summer / fall.


That was about the time Ruger was the copying the P3AT.
Maybe Ruger copied one of the ones with a bad barrel!
