I recently purchased a new 9mm match grade stainless steel barrel for my new Colt Custom 1911 in .38 Super. I had a local gunsmith install a new barrel pin and link in the new match barrel.
When I installed the new barrel, the slide would not close and lock-up fully because the lugs in the new match barrel will not properly engage the lugs in the slide. Obviously the barrel will have to be fitted to the slide.
My question is, is this a "no-brainer" for most any gunsmith? If not, who in the Louisiana/Texas/Arkansas region would you recommend. I want it done right.
I would really appreciate some input. Thanx.
