barrysuperhawk Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Ok, so I am looking for a regular 16" barrel that has the protruding ramp that supports the front of glock mags, and is actually in stock. I found this, but I have never seen it in stock, and as invested as Tim is in the 5.25" rifling concept I suspect that it might not ever be again. https://taccom3g.com/product/extreme-feed-16-9mm-barrel/ Before I whip out the tig welder and start screwing with my existing barrel, do I have any other options? What should I be searching for? Does anyone have a take off the would be willing to sell or even loan me so I can get a pattern? Any suggestions on the type or grade of steel I might choose to build this with? Link to comment
TRUBL Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 get the 1316 barrel, you will be MUCHO happier Link to comment

If I have to swap handguard too, I am most of the way to a new stripped upper, and down the rabbit hole I go.... Link to comment
gerritm Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 We have been shooting this 1316 barrel for about 6 months & it is awesome. Runs everything. She has a 15" CF handguard and the side ports are just past the end of hand guard & all I did was notch the top CF so the top ports do not blow into the HG. Took me maybe 5 minutes with a die grinder. gerritm Link to comment
RickT Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have a Wiland barrel (no ramp) and a Glock mag lower. It feeds just fine. Not sure why you might need the external ramp. Link to comment
barrysuperhawk Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 #1 it's never, ever, ever been about need. As far as why I WANT it...i have an unsupported style barrel now, and have broken the front out of several magazines with factory ammo that doesn't have much of a crimp. A supported barrel would seem to alleviate that. Link to comment
gerritm Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Try a Taccom feed ramp. Best $20 we have spent on our un-supported/non-ramped barrels. Have a JP barrel on mine and installing the feed ramp has stopped all misfeeds,. Had one on her old ULW Taccom barrel before the new one with a built in ramp. Thousands of rounds thru both with the Taccom feed ramps with no issues. Same with the new Taccom barrel with the built in ramp. Cheap easy fix. gerritm Link to comment
barrysuperhawk Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'd really love to but it's just as out of stock as the barrels... Link to comment

Easier to give you the link on Taccom website explaining it with installation instructions. Plenty of pictures. Goes in the upper and clam shell closes against the lower. Not much to take a picture of. Unfortunately they are out of stock, but he gets them in pretty regular. https://taccom3g.com/product/taccom-glock-lower-feedramp/ gerritm Link to comment

Unfortunately, their ramp only comes back .100" and does not support the magazine......TACCOM's feed ramp comes back .170" and does support the magazine. The Glock feed ramp is a great solution for 'standard' barrels and should be in stock very soon. 1316 barrels, I understand are about a week or so out. Edited March 28, 2020 by TRUBL Link to comment
MemphisMechanic Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks @gerritm the handguard notch is what I was curious about seeing! Link to comment

TRUBL Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Cutting the notch in a CF tube is easy peasy actually........one way to do that is to tape up the area to be cut with masking tape and draw lines for your cut. Then take a drememl tool with a carbine burr and go to town. I'd use a mask (good luck finding one now) so you don't breathe in all the dust, it's not gonna cause cancer, but it's not good to breathe in to your lungs. Or use your GF's bra cup as a mask LOL. Finish up with a small grinding wheel to smooth the edges, then blow it off with compressed air. Link to comment

Then I sealed the cuts with a black paint marker, can use clear finger nail polish. gerritm Link to comment
Screaminyz Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Barry, Do you have a modified/cut bolt carrier already? You would need to have it done if you went with the Shooting Innovations barrel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
barrysuperhawk Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 All I have at the moment is the stock bolt, and a JP bolt. I am trying to get my hands on the taccom barrel, and once I have it in hand, then I will work on getting a matching bolt... Link to comment
gerritm Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 We shoot a standard bolt with the Taccom barrel. I think it is a Spinta or New Frontier. Have shot both in it. Weight is in, nothing cut special. Works great with a CMC PCC trigger. She has shot a lot of rounds thru it since getting it about a year ago with no malfunctions. She smokes most of us with PCC and is transitioning to my open gun. Up until the Corona thing we shoot every weekend. gerritm Link to comment
