Smith-Wesson new gun old barrel?

[tazdevils610]

Can you put a old 5in barrel on a new 625 with the 2 piece barrel? (JM625) And would the new gun be legal in USPSA Revo. Division and or ICORE limited Division?

Thanks for any info.

The barrels will interchange. Don't know about the rules.

It's fine for both games.

Thanks Toolguy and Carmoney. Carmoney can you change barrels or would I need to have it done somewhere else and have you do the action?

Thanks

I have not seen a JM625 with the 2 piece barrel but my model 66 with the 2 piece barrel has a different frame than my 66's with the one piece barrel. There is a square lug that protrudes from the frame to lock the 2 piece barrels shroud in place. It looks like it could be milled off but I have never tore it down that far. If the 625's with the 2 piece barrels are made similar to the 66's then it would be a little more complicated than a regular barrel swap.

PM sent. (Like Gregg K. mentioned, I've never seen a 625JM with the 2-piece set-up. Unless it's a brand new gun, and they've changed things at the factory, it should have a standard 4" tube.)

My mistake. Thought all new Smiths had 2 pieces barrels. That good to know.

Thank for the info.

Is the old barrel pinned? Would that make a difference?

Pinned and non pinned barrels of the same frame size can interchange.
