A national match bushing is pre-fit to the barrel; has oversize O.D. for precise fitting to slide. Bottom lugs are fully finished and the correct length link installed to save hours of work.

Great Barrel, Rusts Easily

I'm only giving this barrel a 3-star rating solely due to the fact that if you don't keep your gun out of the weather, or if you live in a high humidity area (as I do) or other situation where rust is easily set-in, the barrel is going to tarnish and rust. And it happens quickly! I would prefer that it withstand the elements better as I am constantly in and out of harsh environments. As for performance, I have been VERY pleased with this product. It performs just as promised and as I have come to expect from Kart. Its a DEFINITE "buy" product...just keep my previous statements in mind.
