PappaJ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm contemplating a new barrel on my Springfield. I've dinked around and rebuilt everything else in the pistol and now I 'think' I want to put a new business tube in it. I guess I'm curious as to what everyone's personal preference is. I've been leaning towards a Kart with a Briley bushing but I'm not sure. Fitting it is no big deal, just looking for a somewhat economical solution. This is my main blaster. I shoot USPSA and IDPA with it. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Which Springfield and why?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have a Kart in one of my SS. It works great. Very accurate and a tad bit faster than a Schuemann. Nowlin makes a great barrel, they are my first choice, however, I was told they are no longer making a C/P cut. For an XD you might consider BarSto.

PappaJ Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Sorry, I didn't even think to post 'what' Springfield..... it's an older model Loaded. The reason I'm thinking about replacement is improved lock-up. It's not as tight as I'd like. Plus there's a couple of gnarly spots in the rifling and it looks like a little bit of throat erosion (could just be my eyes on that though). It still shoots ok but I have doubts that it's still holding as good as it used to..... Like I said, I'm still thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Nowlin barrel as well and have one in my Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Clark/Para frame cut is for a ramped barrel with a c/p cut on the barrel. There is also a Wilson / bowling cut for frames and barrels. For the original poster, I would suggest a kart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Schumann This. Pretty sure Springers are Wilson/Nowlin cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 A Schuemann barrel would be my recommendation for your Springer. BarSto makes great barrels also but can be a bitch to fit. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Barrels...well, I'm biased, but I've got guns with Bar-Sto, KKM, Nowlin, Schuemann, STI and Storm Lake right now, but I'd only pay for one of those...take a quick look at these threads you'll notice a pattern: http://www.brianenos...ndpost&p=672537 http://www.brianenos...dpost&p=1308620 http://www.brianenos...dpost&p=1064334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 My suggestion is Kart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Joe, If you are going to run primarily Lead, I would suggest the KART. My second would be a Schumann or BARSTO. You really can't go wrong with any of them..... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I would advise against the Briley bushing after experiencing one of those disintegrate in the middle of a match. Also, I'm curious what you mean by "Fitting it is no big deal." A proper fit is everything, and is not something that the average tinkerer or general gunsmith knows how to do properly.

pjb45 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have a bunch of different barrels in my guns. My favorite is a Nowlin with a C/P cut. This one is gnats ass accurate. But so are my Kart, Schuemann, and STI barrels. The fit is critical. Perhaps much more important than the brand just so long as you stay with a top brand name.
