ATTN. 10XX Auto Owners, Production Has Started - .40 S&W & .357 SIG Barrels

[cpeblue]

357Sig needed for a 4006 here.

You got me excited , but I see it's just a false alarm.......

 

[Yorkie Man]

I would like a 357 Sig barrel for a 4006 if you get around to making them.

 

[LT_STREET]

Count me in for a drop-in .40 for my 1006.

Hello Harris1, et all,
All the barrels that are in process were all spoken for at the time.
Things have come to a halt due to personal issues.
115 barrels are in process and partially completed.
When I get back to working on them,
I will contact those folks that are on my list and see who are still interested in them
and your position on the waiting list will move up accordingly.
Sorry for the delay.

Regards,
BM1

As this was written in July 2012, I dont think BM1 is back into the project. Please dont stir the pot as if and when he is ready he will announce it here on the forum. Lets all hope and pray that his personal issues work out to his satisfaction

Anyone interested ?

Many of you know me through this great forum and that I have been heavily involved with the .356 TSW cartridge.
Posting the many conversions that I have worked with, having great success and enjoying the testing and evaluation of this great round.

My retirement from Aerospace Machining with 30+ years experience in many, many types of manufacturing processes has benefited me a great deal in my "odd" endeavors.

I am now contemplating the development and manufacturing of drop-in/semi-drop-in replacement barrels for all of us that have been thinking how nice it would be to have the advantages of shooting the .40 S&W and .357 SIG from out 10XX series handguns.
The first "Test Run" would probably be a lot size of 25-50 of each barrel (depending on the demand?) to accommodate the two different calibers in the two different barrel lengths, 5.00" and 4.25" with retrospect to the 1006, 1026, 1046 and the 1066, 1076 and 1086.

Wolff Gun Springs has a variety of replacement springs to taylor the recoil impulse and brass ejection to your liking.

Wolff lists the stock spring for the 1006, 1026 and 1046 @ 18#'s
They show 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 24#'s

Also the stock spring for the 1066, 1076 and 1086 @ 17#'s
They show 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22#'s

I am hoping to start the development after the first of the year.

If this dream works out I would like to expand to the 4013 style and 40XX series with .357 SIG barrels.
But that would be a little ways away at this point.

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
BM1

I would be interested in a .40 cal for 1076 also.

 

[MikeyII]

I would love a 357 barrel for my 4006.

 

[Charlie Foxtrott]

When I decide that I need to fire a round that performs less well.

Than the one that my 1006s and my1066 were made to fire. I will be sure to get in touch with you.

 

[Ronbo03]

I would be interested in a barrel for my 1026 in 9mm or .357

 

[smith46wesson]

How did this ever work out? I've been reading about the 4013/4053 conversion to 10mm and I am intrigued.

 

[epj]

I don't think this project ever really got going.

 

[Big Shrek]

How did this ever work out? I've been reading about the 4013/4053 conversion to 10mm and I am intrigued.

I was wondering the same thing :O)

 

[Sevens]

How about we tie a big fat padlock on this dumb thread rather than seeing it reappear every year with not even one molecule of new information?

 

[rwsmith]

Good luck.....

I like anything that keeps third gens shooting.

 

[HCH]

Hey BM1, I would definetly be interested! I have a 4006 and wouldn't mind "spicing it up" so to speak with a .357 SIG barrel!
So when you get this project up and running I'd appreciate a PM.
Happy Holidays, Dale

Dittos on the .357 Sig and 4006

Although the OP checks in here occasionally, he has not posted anything since 2015, so consider this idea dead. If something changes, he can contact one of the mods to reopen this thread or start a new one.

Sorry to all those with hopes of seeing this turn into something.
