JGus Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I requested to have the LCI barrels on my two Sig P320 X5 Legions swapped out for non-LCI barrels. One my first request, Sig CS said to just send in the complete upper. On the right is the replacement barrel the first time I sent in my complete upper to Sig to replace the P320 X5 Legion barrel with a LCI for one without an LCI. Barrel looks great, has a coating on the barrel. For my second P320 X5 Legion Sig CS said just send in only the barrel. So that's what I did. I just got the non-LCI barrel today, which is the barrel on the left. Just got it delivered to my office FEDEX. It's straight out of the box. It's completely wiped down, no oil or residue on it. It appears as if it is still in the white, just bare carbon steel? Don't get me wrong, I'm going to shoot the heck out of both X5 Legions, but If it's supposed to have a coating on it to preserve it's longevity I'd like to have it. Anyone else that has had their LCI barrel swapped out for a non-LCI barrel also get a barrel in this condition? I thought i'd check to see if maybe that's just how the barrels are on the latest X5 Legion barrels before I contact Sig CS? If this is how the latest barrels come out I'll just shoot it. I'm not concerned about looks, just don't want it rusting or wearing prematurely. Edited December 2, 2019 by JGus Added second picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 That looks bare metal to me. Looks like it didn’t go to the treatment room lol . Give Sig CS another call and ask about the difference between the two barrels they sent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so and you tell me it's not a big deal to have coating on the barrel, I'll just keep it and shoot it. I just don't want the barrel to start pitting or rusting.

jcc7x7 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Lots of 1911 Barrels out there without any coating on them FWIW BUT I'd call SIG and ask them for a bbl that is coated the same as the bbl you sent in. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped it off at 5:50 PM on a Friday and by late day Monday I already had a tracking # for its ride back home. I couldn’t have asked for any better service!!!!

rowdyb Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 My two barrels that arrived on the 2nd look just like the OP's photo. A little unfinished in appearance for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more gas one lense It’s nice if you can tig weld and then machine it yourself but I wouldn’t be paying someone to do those things for me.

rowdyb Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Also funny by two barrels were signature required so I had to wait at the house until they finally showed at 4pm. And then just two barrels came in a box 16"x16" with two layers of foam and a box within a box. I can post a pic if you want of my two barrels to confirm they don't look as nice as a stock barrel....

Yeah, my complete upper (first barrel replacement they said send in just complete upper) came back in that exact same box, then the barrel (second barrel replacement they said just send in the barrel) from my second X5 Legion was also returned in that big Sig box. Nice box, but I thought that sure is a lot of box for just a pistol barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
