cheby Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Here is what happened to my TSO barrel last Saturday. 28K rds through. The new barrel is coming. Does anybody know what kind of fitting I would need to do? Edited April 23, 2019 by cheby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) what did that sound and feel like when it happened? ps-only rarely have i had to fit a factory replacement barrel. normally where the top lug goes into the hood and a small bit on the rh side above and below where the extractor cut outs are.

I just had a malfunction - Failure to feed. I tried to clear the malfunction and saw that the barrel was falling out. It was during the practice so I took my time. Would you use some emery cloth? about 200 grit and some 600? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I've used a fine small flat hand file, sharpie and rubber mallet. Get it just to the point you have to barely nudge it in to lock up. Then shoot to final fit it. hahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) i think there are a few older posts here about doing it. I just watched Mink and CJ do it so learned from observation. Now that dang BarSto barrel I had custom made for my Shadow 2...... That was a whole other nightmare in barrel fitting.

Hi_Im_Vinh Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Were you shooting factory or reloads through it? And how long would it take them to get you out a new barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czgunsalot Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 There’s a good video on you tube the guy is fitting a checkmate barrel but same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheby Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 My reloads, 172PF. (Blue bullets 180gr , Prima SV, 4.1 gr) CZ will ship the new barrel as soon as they get one in stock. It is covered by warranty. Not sure when it will happen though. So I went ahead and bought a new barrel from CZ Custom as well. That one is coming in a day or two. At the end I will have two barrels, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinimon Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 There are two areas I had to remove material to fit the barrel. This is a 9mm barrel I had to fit for my 40SW TSO slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1A4ME Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I bought a .40 S&W Tactical Sport here a year or so back. Same broken barrel thing. The owner gave me a good deal and all I had to do was order a barrel and fit it and yes, same spots needed some stoning (I always stone/oil when removing metal because it's slow and helps keep me from messing up). Not tough to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
