[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4130851, member: 42567"] We use Nowlin barrels in our 1911's. They are of a very high quality. The company is located in Okmulgee. [URL="https://www.nowlinarms.com/"]1911 Parts | 1911 9 MM | 1911 Pistol | 1911 Parts | Nowlin Arms[/URL] Getting the barrel is relatively easy; fitting it can be challenging. We use a mill for most of our barrel work. I've known others who fit by hand without any power tools (other than maybe a dremel). You will also need to headspace the barrel, so don't ream it too deep or you'll have to buy another barrel. Of course, you'll need the headspace gauges. Some other parts may need to be replaced at the same time. I do not have any experience with drop-in barrels. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can give his input. Good luck, and please let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
