juan Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I want to fit a bull barrel to my 16/40 and then some accurails. is this the wrong order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bull2700 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 You will want to get the accurails first, and then fit the barrel. That way you only have to fit the lower lugs once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Definitely have the slide/frame fit finished before the barrel fit. Otherwise the barrel may need to be refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.L. Hardy Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You definitely must have the accu-rails installed first then the barrel. Consider getting Doug Jones do them and maybe even get him to do the barrel fit as well. What happens is that the accu-rails pull the slide down on the frame. This causes the lower lugs to be cut shorter. That is fine but it leads to another issue. Para frames are notorious for having the ramp barrel cut made very long where the rounded barrel lug comes to rest on the frame bridge during cycling. It is essential that the barrel lug stop the rearward travel of the barrel with good contact and not the barrel link or pin being used for that purpose. When you pull the slide down, this leads to a shorter link being used. You may need for the frame cut to be welded up and then re-cut to the proper distance for the new link.

GlennRasch Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The accurails are COOL and all that........... if you shoot where there's a lot of dust blowing around, those rails get dusty and jam or slow the slide down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Why do you think you need accurails? My frame and slide fit is super loose and it bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leas327 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'd have to really like a gun to put that kind of money into it. I would think about selling and finding something else. Loose to you and loose to someone else can be two different things. That is money you won't get back out of the gun if you ever sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it bother you while shooting it or fondling it? My first limited gun was a para. Was loose but had a bull fit by a good gunsmith and the accuracy was there.

I have seen too many problems with Accurails to ever own a gun with them. My para's have the rails peened down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my son built a tube framed baja bug from the ground up, its cheaper to buy one and fix it.then to build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leas327 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have nothing against paras. My friend shoots one and loves it. I think it is a nice gun. I know with his gun anytime he thinks it is the gun and not him he sits down, shoots a group off a sand bag and gets proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
