Default barrels

Here photos of both a regular 4"14 barrel and a LAPD cutdown.
I think Harry or Phil told me that a local company did the cut downs , milling for the front sights, precision drilling of the sight pin hole and reblue,if you look they did nice work. I dont remember what company or who did the work. Same with the model 10/64 Heavy barrels they were milled at the same place .
For those wondering Harry was an LAPD armorer for probably thirty years and Phil was a T/O when Harry went through the academy so 30 + probably for Phil. Both wonderful men ,great shots ,who tried to pass down their knowledge,but its hard to learn 60 + years of experience in 6-7 years.
I still remember looking for a lefthand screwdriver for an hour before Harry stopped me, well maybe it wasnt that bad ,but close. Bob
