Hi all I'm building my 1911 from scratch I have a essex arms enhanced frame and slide but I'm looking to find what is the best barrel to go in my new project for this winter any help will be taken into great thought in my choice

I've had good luck with the "match" barrel at Dan Wesson on-line store. www.danwessonfirearms.com (They are made by Jarvis I hear)

dougl93,

I have used a lot of different brand barrels in the 1911 over the years. The best so far has been the KART Easy-Fit barrel. The barrels are very high quality,very accurate, and the manufacturer really understands what is important to properly fit a barrel to a 1911. You will not be sorry buying one of these barrels.

Best regards,

CJR

thanks for the info all. does anyone have anything on the ed brown or wilson-combat drop-ins.I looked for the KART barrels but can't seem to find any.also does anyone have thoughts about the chip mcmorick mags?????

dougl93,

The KART CM Easy-Fit barrels are carried by Brownells. I should add that the Wilson barrels in 17-4PH stainless steel are also high quality, high strength, accurate, and also carried by Brownells.

Best regards,
