I had a newer 41 a few years ago and the barrel was tapped. It was a 5 1/2” and I did scope it. I picked up a 7” barrel to go with it and was very happy with all. But I sold it off.
After getting a very special custom 41 four years ago I went on the lookout for a 1969 that was in great shape and un-molested. My thought was to have both 1969 41’s side by side to show what all had been done to a factory original. I did find one on Gunbroker.
It took a while but I got a second barrel and a few more original magazines. I’m into it for under $900.00 total. I do not plan on scoping so the non-tapped barrels are fine.
I really like the older ones and haven’t had any issues. I don’t think I could have pieced all of this together for that price if I WAS trying to buy new.
