Colt 1917 .45 cal barrel wanted

yblockhead

Looking for a colt model 1917 barrel. Outer finish does not matter as long as there is no pitting. Strong rifling would be good too. Sarco wants $250 for one. I'm hoping that someone out there in the spare parts box that they want to part with.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I called and they want more for a barrel than Sarco, (and what I paid for the pistol).

If you find an affordable one, remember that changing Colt 1917 and other New Service barrels is NOT easy. They are screwed in VERY tight and can warp frames on removal if the frame is not supported properly in a jig. S&W barrels are not at all similar.
