    My WAG is that your pretty much out of luck getting a original barrel. Colt quit making that barrel bushing model at least 90 years ago. G P doesn't carry them.

    Best bet would be to find a COMPETENT Gunsmith who could epoxy a rifled tube in the old barrel. This is commonly known as "relineing". It's done quite often to salvage bad barrels.

    Can't help you there, last time I had a pistol barrel relined was over 20 years ago. Excellent condition French MAC 50, the bore was like a sewer.

    The guy who did the work for me did a excellent job, it wasn't to spendy either. Unfortunately he's long gone.
