I was wondering if, when a Bar-Sto barrel is fitted to a 1911, will the stock barrel still be able to be used in that pistol? I guess what I'm asking is if the material is all removed from the barrel during fitting, or is the slide modified as well?
I currently own one pistol with a Ed Brown match barrel, and the stock barrel is no longer compatible with the slide.
Seems as though it would be nice if the two barrels were interchangeable, to allow accuracy comparison, or even if one wished to sell the gun but keep the match barrel for "semi drop-in" use in another 1911.
Thanks,
Tim
