John Z Sr Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just got a Glock 21, and bought a Lone Wolf barrel for it to shoot lead bullets with. My bullets are cast by me and all rounds are run in a chamber guage and are always fine (use them in my 625, 1911's and my son's XD45) never a problem. Last 2 matches I've tried them, problems with slide going all the way home. RO at the match today said maybe chamber too tight. Got home and miked it, and it is .003" tighter than the factory barrel. Anyone else have a similar problem? I was thinking of having my gunsmith ream it some or should I send it back to Lone Wolf? Any input would be appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 LW chambers are tight. Very tight with lead bullets. Pack up five dummy rounds (no primers or powder ) and send them and your barrel back to Lone Wolf. They'll open it up for you. You might want to call ahead and give them a heads up.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks I have a Lone Wolf barrel for my G35 and it was very tight, had issues with my lead bullets. Had a buddy ream it for me, took like 5 minutes from start to finish, and no more problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks Heckler, I see you are in SC, you shootin the SC Section USPSA match next month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Guys, please, let's keep the "Hey, are you shooting the match this weekend/next month/etc." stuff to PMs and off the main board. It just slows down the thread for other people. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpjohns Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 To John Z Sr: I have also recently purchased a Lone Wolf barrel for my Glock 21 to shoot 200 gr SWC lead bullets. In the year since you made your original post, have you found a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
