Barrel is defective and lone wolf know it is. - Lone Wolf Arms AlphaWolf M/30 45ACP Barrel

I purchased it even after reading the negative feedback. It was a mistake. Everything the two negative feedback said is 100% correct. The first thing I did when I received the barrel is to do a fit check. It does not fit correctly. The barrel sits in the slide, but when you put the recoil spring/guide rod on, the front of the spring sticks out further than it's supposed to. When you put the slide back on the frame, the slide does not go fully into battery, and when you pull the trigger, the slide moves forward slightly. So I contacted both OpticsPlanet and Lone Wolf and provided pictures of the issues. Here is the direct quote I got back from Lone Wolf.

"I showed your pictures to our armorer and talked to him about your barrel. He said that we have a new design on that barrel coming out soon. Apparently there is an issue with some of the lugs on our older G30 barrels that is causing the guide rod to not fit correctly. He recommends that you request a return with Optics Planet on the barrel."

I shared the comments with Optics Planet customer service and they had me do a return request, which I did and have already returned the barrel, unfired. I am hoping that when Lone Wolf does start producing their new threaded barrel, Optics Planet gets them in their inventory so I can pick one up.

Optics Planet has been very professional through the whole process. I've also purchased the Lone Wolf G21 Threaded barrel from them and it's better than the Glock barrel hands down. I can't blame Optics for it not being correct.
