A friend of mine who brings me his guns when he shoots them until they won't run any more and has me fix them brought me his S&W 1911sc that he shot a squib load followed by a charged load.
As you can guess, he bulged the barrel.
After an hour of wearing out a brass punch, I got the bushing out and the gun torn apart.
S&W will not sell me the parts to get it running again and he doesn't want to send it in.
It is a commander length for what that is worth.
I am looking at barrels for it and found Remsport barrels.
I understand they make barrels for some of the oem guns and supply some custom gun makers.
Does anyone have recent experiences and thoughts about the quality?
He would like to keep the repair reasonably priced, so he is not looking to spend $300 on a barrel plus my time to fit it.
Thanks for any insight you good folks have.
