thepunishur Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I searched, but didn't seem to find an answer. I'm going to be having a 9mm barrel fit to my 38 super open gun. Currently, it has a Hybrid barrel and the slide is cut for it. Would I have any issues having a non-hybrid barrel fit to my slide? Any potential problems with barrel lock-up?

RangerTrace Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well, I would think that is would cause some issues since you'd lose all that contact between the hybrid barrel and the slide..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 While certainly not optimal, my guess is that it wouldn't affect the performance. In all of the hybrid builds I have (I have 3 and will get one more shortly), the barrel rib doesn't touch the slide at all throughout the cycle. They're very close but there is no contact. So, all the fitting is between the slide and barrel, minus the ~1/2" on top where the rib is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV will make you a blank hybrid rib barrel but they don't stock them. They say allow 6 weeks, but I got mine in 5 weeks. The rib goes almost to the locking lug. Not sure if that's a 4 port.

SV's all seem to be clark/para ramped, and I need a wilson/nowlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gunsmiths would have to chime in. I think the frame cut could be changed from nowlin to clark. Not sure if the barrel can be cut from clark to nowlin. But then you have more steps and money involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 You can have a W/N frame cut to C/P... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I was on the Schumann website last night and the main page states their web store is down but when you check the barrel pages, it show barrel available for purchase, it might be worth it to call them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimini Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I don't see how a non-hybrid barrel would cause a problem. I would get it titanium nitride coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
