Drop in barrels do not need a gunsmith for fitting, hence the name drop in. KKM and other barrel makers provide a wide variety of applications. They have done my Sig and my 1911. Very nice barrels but pricey. You are looking to start at 200, depending on application. My Gl9 barrel was 261 out the door.
Depending on what state you live in, threaded barrels are a no-no. I would check your local laws to see if it is legal. For example, NY, NJ, DE, and other states do not allow any firearms with a threaded barrel; it is a state law, not a federal one. |
I was aware of .22LR drop ins but never heard of this before. It makes perfect sense.
Interesting. One could purchase a drop in barrel for cash, or even make a crude one, and together with a home-made firing pin use it in a crime and get rid of the evidence. Together with pre-frag bullets this may be an evidence-free weapon.
