Top end suggestions...

[Shadyscott999]

Well, the top end of my open gun is trashed. Some type of timing issue ruined the barrel and slide. So being the standup guy that Jeff Abernathy is, he is building me a new tops end.

The current gun is a Tru bore with 4 holes that is tri topped and panel cut. I now have the opportunity to change everything if I want. The gun is really flat as it is using 121's and 3n38. I have always thought it was a little nose heavy; so I am thing about going Ti. Anyone have any suggestions on barrel and comp combos?

My current thinking is...

SVI Ribbed barrel w 4 conical popple holes

SVI ti comp.

dont want to derail the thread, but can you elaborate on the "trashed top end" issue?

I would If I could. I haven't seen the gun(Jeff still has it). When I get it back I will post pics. He says somehow after only about 3K rounds the gun went out of time and destroyed the lugs.

How was the dot tracking for you?

I would go with the Ti comp with a slide configuration you had before.

You can always cut the slide and add a ribbed barrel later. Can't add back material that's been cut away.
