Short Colt 9mm barrels...anybody know of a source?

**clark98ut** · 12-11-12, 09:37

I've got a 6951 on the way, and plan on SBR'ing. Does anyone know of a source of the shorter Colt barrels--10" or 7.5"?

Thanks,

Dan

There not Colt but Grant sells 10in. BCM barrels. http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...on&key=9MM-BCM

Appreciate the headsup. I assume since they're blow-back operated that no other changes are needed?

Another non-Colt option is Adco.

Adco 9mm Barrels

TROS doesn't have any in stock, but knows a dealer that has a few available.
Green Mountain has a run scheduled for sometime in January, 10.5" IIRC, so you'd have to cut it down from there if you wanted shorter.

Is any one brand "better" than the other?

I mean, I know in precision rifles, there's definitely a difference, and a Broughton or Krieger is worth the price difference over a Douglas or ER Shaw, but in a short barreled rifle with a pistol round, does it really matter? Differences in function or longevity?

I wish that these were coming out in chrome lined, but they look like an interesting barrel.
