Reliable Quality Barrels
This is a gunsmith fit barrel and is fairly straightforward if you have the right tools and skill/training to fit 1911 barrels. Kart barrels are known for quality and this barrel was no exception.

Kart Commander
Installed in Colt L/W Commander and it shoots great. Shot a .530 inch group at 25 yds. Have another I installed in a Caspian 5" and it shoots great also. Really like these Barrels alot, fitting is not too bad. Get the Brownells Lug cutter and the Kart File. The File has smooth edges so you dont mess up the hood, one of the best files I have ever used. Thank You Kart and Brownells

Nice Barrel
I used this barrel in a custom build; STI frame/Caspian slide. The fitting was fairly easy, not a lot of filing. Took my time, lined it up with the firing pin hole, set clearances, and wound up with a smooth cycling, accurate pistol. I have used Kart barrels in other builds, they are one of the best. Highly recommended.

Installation not simple but Shoots great
I consider myself pretty handy but installation takes about 7 hours with careful measurement and filing. my 1911 is an original 1913 manufacture date. Watch some youtube videos and reference your old barrel a LOT. The instructions are good only once you have watched videos about fitting barrels (they are not a step by step). There is a lot of important information there but you don't understand the context until you get working. The trigger saddle must be filled to match original barrel. You do not need to alter anything original and my old original barrel will go right back in. I had to clearance the bottom of the Kart barrel to allow it to unlock and not hit the slide. It shoots very true and so is a great value

Excellent Accuracy
Very easy to install using the provided instructions. With proper installation can achieve 2 groups at 50yards. Most used barrel at Camp Perry Shoots. First upgrade to my 1911s when purchased.
