Thanks for taking the time to talk about these items on a 1911 pistol.

I like how you highlight the area of the barrel you are talking about. Good job!

i guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Jerry Sam Instablaster :)
@Casey Ayaan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Casey Ayaan it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
Awesome video Bob and crew!! I'm 69 yrs old and I remember my old Grandad telling me (he thought me how to work on 1911's) manufactures that couldn't make a true Commander 4.25 inch barrel would have a 4 inch barrel. He said these manufactures couldn't get the timing right. Do you find this to be true Bob? Y'all take care, Vern
Hi Vern, this is a good question, timing, yes this is all over the map with manufacture to manufacture. Some parts have to be looked at like spring lengths and tuning is a slight bit finicky because of the shorter wheelbase. I will do a short video on this or add it to our Q&A coming up… Thanks… Bob
I just ordered a Swenson threaded drop in barrel with link and pin for my Remington 1911 R1 enhanced. Would it fit in there without Gunsmithing required? Can I use the existing barrel bushing ?
Well, Generally if you are putting in a match grade barrel you will want a new bushing, and will it drop in.... Not sure, but probably not.
Wow I need more basic. Simply if I have a 45 apc 911 pistol and want to convert to a 9x29 caliber can I simply take a 9x25 barrel and put it into a 45 acp 911 frame the would it work and feed correctly and if so what about thee magazine
No This will not work, you would need a new top-end and several other parts. See our Caliber conversion videos.
Hi bob do your 10mm 1911 barrels have fully supported chamber?
Thanks Mike
We make them both ways, Ramped and unramped, just depends on what you, the customer wants. You can spec this when you order.
Question I have a Springfield 1911 A-1 9mm can I put a 45 acp barrel in it ?
Sorry, no. Slide/Breech face is different and several other parts. We do have some video's up on this topic
I don't own a 1911 myself (yet), but I was curious about the "barrel boss" area. How does the barrel have enough room to tilt with that bushing around it? is the barrel boss area thicker than the rest of the barrel to snugly fit into the bushing, while the rest of the barrel is cut to be smaller to allow clearance for the tilt?
The barrel boss area is the main front points of contact on the barrel bushing. The barrel is on a "Lock-up" angle. There is sufficient clearance for the proper lock-up and function.
Great Help Bob I Was Wondering About Barrel Links When Installment of a New Barrel How Would One Determine What Link To Use or Is There a Standard Link You Would Use and Then Use The Cutter Tool To Cut The Feet to Achieve Perfect Lock Up of The Barrel To Slide In Battery Thanks In Advance 😀😊😀
Another great question, The link, set-up & work on the barrel feet, of the barrel will depend on what you are working with (as in tolerances and fitment of the frame, slide & Slide stop pin diameter.) So once you assess this then you can have a place to start. I try to work with a standard No.3 link, but again, this may not be the best choice depending on the parts you have to work with. I can generally get a great lock-up with a No.3 with about 80% of the projects we work on. On new builds I generally gen the barrel lock-up the way I want it and then grind in/Blend the frame to slide back. But, most of the barrel jobs I am refinishing the entire Project. This is a real good subject and I will do a video on this because this can get into a novel…😊 . Super suggestion
Fusion Firearms Thank You 😀
Hi Bob...Is it true that Carbon barrels have more lubricity than Stainless barrels? If so, would the function of a 1911 with a Carbon barrel have more smoothness in its operation and manipulation of the slide?
Hi Harry, No not really. The frictional coefficient will depend on the Barrel finish from machining/polishing & prep, regardless of material. Coatings may help reduce frictional coefficient but coatings such as Nitro carb, Ion Bond, PTFE base finishes, all can be applied to stainless steel or carbon steel. So again, no real difference. For the internal bores, Our stainless match are all gun-drilled, reamed, hand honed(for exceptional finish) and the air gauged.
Very good question!!... thanks for asking
I have a good question about fitting your match grade barrels. Can I determine the link size of my current barrel and then use that same link size on your barrel in the same gun or does it just change from barrel to barrel??
It does not change much, generally start with a No.3 link .278 Center to center dim. and see how you lock-up. You can also check the original link in your pistol, but I generally start with then No3 and go from there.
@@fusionfirearms since I’m going for a tight lock up and it’s a competition gun do you think I should also buy one smaller or one larger just in case? Or a good way to measure my current one to confirm size? Probably just order the 278 and if I have issues whatever issues I’m having will point to whether the link is too short or too long. And again thanks
plz guide
is there difference in shine between chromed barrel and melonite barrel?
Chrome is a plating and will be silver color. Melonite(Nitro Carborizing, will be black and actually etches into the surface.
Bought a EAA Girsan MC1911C 9mm 4.4 inch barrels looking for a threaded barrel for suppressor please let me know which threaded barrel size to purchase ..thanks
Just call into customer support and we can help you. And Look and see if you have a ramped barrel and the type. You can also just snap a picture of your barrel and we can tell you which ramp you have if you do not know.
storm barrel with threded
Hi, Is there a way to modify a 1991, so it ejects the cases to the left?
Not really, maybe up.. you need play with the ejector/extractor and recoil spring and see what you can come up with. No real good recipe for ejecting left.
Will a match barrel withstand pressure of 45 super
Yes they will
Good day to you sir, i have a para barrel .40,i change the link to #3 and the barrel to frame fit has bit of a play/loose and also the barrel has a play up/down, what can you advice on how to fix my gun sir? Thank much. Hope you’l notice..god speed.👌
It is hard to tell without looking at it. On the frame to slide fit, there is not much that can be done other than peening the frame to tighten.
On the barrel, I would check the bushing for fit in the slide and on barrel, if it has a bushing. Next you might have to "link-up" to a No.4 or so to see if it will help. Also, Check the slide stop pin, you can try a slide stop with pin diameter at .199-.200. This may also help. Thanks for joining in.
how to order storm barrel 1911 model
Every manufacturer states their gun has a “match “ or “NM” barrel, and I always figured it was like those car commercials with the Corinthian leather or the wide track suspension - a marketing gimmick. If you don’t say it, the buyer may think your regular old barrel isn’t as good. Figured a match designation used to mean a tighter chamber or that it is hand fit.
Guess you should just try one and see the superior Fusion barrel handles. These are not production barrel, they are drilled, reamed, hand honed, air-gauged match barrels. the real McCoy.
@@fusionfirearms I would like to try one Of your guns someday.
Do you guys make a 3 inch ramped barrel?
Yes, That would be our defender size, See the barrel selector on the website.
@@fusionfirearms thanks I'll take a look.
What's the pros and cons of ramped vs non ramped?

There are more barrel videos in our yourtube listings, look at them.
Dumb question can you put a 6" barrel on a gi
Yes, you can. I have seen many folks do this. You just have to make sure that the barrel boss Diameter is long enough to ride the barrel bushing. Fusion makes their 6 inch barrels this way so you can use them on 5 or 6 inch pistols.
Rifle barrel is from bolt face to muzzle
Unless muzzle device is pinned and welded or hi temp soldered
You never did actually tell me how to measure my barrel length.
Measure from X to Y, please point out X and Y.
On a 1911 it is from the back of the hood to the end of the barrel. Remember generally this will be longer than what is called out. Such as a 5" Gov barrel will be about 5.15" or so, for barrel bushing thickness and barrel "stick-out" or crown area.
