Laxman2809 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just traded for this gun locally and want to source a barrel in a different caliber. Gun is currently in 38super. What would be required? Barrel And then to smith for fitting? or Do I need another bushing which would need to be fit to the slide and subsequent new barrel?

Fo0 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) i think its a bull barrel - but a trubor so the compensator is attached to the barrel and if you have an aftec extractor you will need a new one Edited January 15, 2019 by Fo0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ya you’d need a new barrel and have it fitted to the slide and frame. I’m about to do the same thing to a 38 trubor. Gonna have a 9mm trubor barrel fit. It currently has a aftec extractor, I’m assuming for 38. My smith said I won’t need to change it, and he can reliably tune it with the current extractor.

palmetto33 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I just converted my DVC open to 9 major from super comp. I bought a trubore barrel in .355 and had a smith fit it. The only thing i had to do was go to a 90 degree mount to help prevent brass from hitting slide ride and bouncing back into chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
