Great Barrel, 4150 CrMoV
I was looking for a decent barrel for a new Glock build. I really wanted to avoid a stainless steel barrel as there was an intention to use high pressure ammunition (Underwood +P+). I wanted 4150 CrMoV, but flush fit unthreaded.
I dropped the barrel into a Cerakoted Hooper Gun Works slide. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the thing to lock up correctly. My Faxon barrel fit and functioned correctly. After taking some measurements, it appeared to me that the FM barrel was in fact out of spec by a few thousandths on the ledge of the barrel hood.
I stoned the ledge for about 3 hours, going nice and slow. Once I got a good lock up, I blued the steel where the finish was removed, and now it looks and works perfectly.

Flawless Barrel after a little polishing for a P80 G17 Slide
Purchased this FM barrel for a Polymer 80 G17 slide. After having tried a Brownell barrel that I returned because the rounds were jamming and not feeding, I thought I would give this FM a try. Initially, when I tried the FM barrel it was doing the same thing, not chambering rounds, jamming upon entry into the chamber. After that I decided to use a Dremel tool and polished the feed ramp on the barrel with some Flitz polishing compound until it shined pretty good then took the pistol to the range where it fired two 17 round mags without any issues. Hopefully that solved the problem for good. I have purchased other FM barrels previously and have found them to be top notch replacement barrels at reasonable prices. Maybe the Brownell barrel would have been OK after some polishing too. Even with a little work I still give this barrel five stars.
Pros:
- Excellent quality barrel for a reasonable price
Cons:
- Needed a little buffing for my particular appliction
Would recommend: Yes
