Bought a new barrel from VTI this week, was excited to get it and found out that it's not fitting the frame. Wedge from the old barrel won't stay in place no matter how much I tap it, the fit by the two round pins is terrible, the loading lever from my old barrel also is not a good fit.
So, what's the issue here? Is it the parts from my old gun being the issue or is this barrel I bought from VTI junk?
ETA: IDK what year mine was made, I bought it used a few years ago on gunbroker, it wasn't in good condition, bore was badly pitted (which I didn't find out until after I got it and the seller refused to refund me, but it did function fine. I ended up chopping the barrel down to a 2 inch snub and said I'll buy a replacement barrel later on. Finally got around to it this week.
Guess you could say that this Uberti has been nothing but trouble for me.
Hopefully VTI isn't a PITA to deal with when doing a return because after this I don't even want to bother trying to see if another barrel will fit it, I'll just as soon buy a brand new '62 Police.
