Latest Update - Precision Barrel Blanks Shipped

The Latest Update - Precision Barrel Blanks Shipped Friday 3/18/2011
Both 9 m.m. and .40 S&W should be here next week.

IF YOU HAVE NOT PUT IN YOUR VERBAL REQUEST - YOU NEED TO DO SO NOW.

I am putting together the Excel Spread Sheet and I need the numbers to see if everyone will end up with what they want.

Telling me,
"To get in touch with me when you're ready to run" or "Let me know when you're ready to run",
DOES NOT PUT YOU IN FOR A BARREL.

I NEED TO KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN;
The CALIBER and the MODEL NUMBER and HOW YOU WANT IT TO FIT?
(Ref. #1 - #4)
If no reference to fit is included at the time of the order, it will be a "DROP-IN".

#1. Drop-in means more clearance to fit all the guns, no guarantee of the accuracy but it will be no worse than the accuracy equivalent to the factory barrel.

#2. Semi drop-in, the spherical diameter on the muzzle end would be left oversize by .002" - .003" to be polished in by you,
just need to spin it in a "devise" and polished to fit with as little as 600 grit silicon carbide sandpaper or as little as a "Scotch-Brite" pad.
If you wish, the breech face locking lug to the barrel/slide locking lug length can be left over a little bit at this point and you can "file" it in.
I would need to know that request when the order is received.

#3. You can send in your complete slide and barrel assembly (barrel and recoil guide rod and recoil spring)
and your barrel will be match fitted with aerospace gauges that measure as small as .0001",
the breach face locking lug, barrel/slide locking lugs and muzzle spherical end fit to your barrel bushing all in your slide, as I did with my 9x23 Bar-Sto.

#4. You can send in your gun, it includes #3 (above) and the bottom lugs will be fit to the frame and slide release lever locking pin for a total match lock-up.
If the slide overlaps the frame in either direction at the rear, I can match it better at this point (with the new barrel).
If your slide protrudes over the frame, with your factory barrel, I can/will correct that also at this time.
(I had correct this with my 9x23 Bar-Sto)
If the frame protrudes out from under the slide, there is nothing I can adjust to repair that.
This also includes range test firing with std. "over the counter factory ammo" to determine a recommended Wolff spring.
I purchased the full range of springs for both length barrels.
(Does not include 9 X 25 Dillon unless you send me 10 - 15 rounds)

The manufacturing facility that I am working with is a Class 07 FFL manufacturer.

The caliber choices are;
.40 S&W in 1006, 1026 and 1046
.40 S&W in 1066, 1076 and 1086

10 m.m. in 1006, 1026 and 1046
10 m.m. in 1066, 1076 and 1086

.357 SIG in 1006, 1026 and 1046
.357 SIG in 1066, 1076 and 1086

.356 TSW in 1006, 1026 and 1046
.356 TSW in 1066, 1076 and 1086

9 m.m. X 23 Winchester in 1006, 1026 and 1046
9 m.m. X 23 Winchester in 1066, 1076 and 1086

9X25 Dillon in 1006, 1026 and 1046
9X25 Dillon in 1066, 1076 and 1086

There have also been a couple "SPECIAL REQUESTS" that are being looked at on an individual basis.

The 4013 and 4003/4006 series will have to happen some time down the road.

Best regards,
BM1

That's great to hear!

Seeing the edit, I'm still down for a .40 (1) and .357 SIG (1) barrel for my 1006. I would like to send you my slide (option #3), but if the larger group just wants to do drop ins (option #1), I'll go that route to make it easier.

Barrel Blanks Are Starting To Arrive

Hi All,
We just received the 9 m.m. barrel blanks today, the .40 S&W blanks should be in Friday.
Once they are all in, it will probably be at least 6 weeks before we start to deliver finished products.

I have the capability to make about 75 of the .40 S&W bore / 10 m.m. (45, 5.00" and 30 4.25")
and about 40 of the 9 m.m. bore / .356 TSW, .357 SIG, 9m.m. X 23 Win., 9 X 25 Dillon (24, 5.00" and 16, 4.25")

About 70% of my capability is already spoken for.

When we get close to the fitting and chambering operations, based on the verbal quantities that I have gotten, I will be taking the order/payments at that time.
All credit card payments will be done via phone.
Postal or Bank Money Orders by mail, NO PERSONAL CHECKS.
We are working on setting up the web site to display our products, contact information and mailing address.

Best regards,
BM1

What are prices for .40 S&W barrels in the different grades of fit and your charge for fitting one to a slide and or frame?
 
The additional costs to "Fit" the barrels were decided upon by traveling to, emailing and making calls to, I think all the gunsmiths within 100 miles of my location.
I was quite amazed how much these guys get to fit a barrel to a slide and/or slide-frame combination.
They quoted some outrageous prices and some have no more equipment than a drill press, a lapping plate and a couple of files.

Fit #1 - "Drop-In" barrel only - $225.00, as stated earlier.
Fit #2 - "Semi Drop-In" barrel only - $225.00 also.
Fit #3 - Precision fitting to your slide - Additional $50.00
Fit #4 - Precision fitting to your complete gun - Additional $100.00 (Includes #3)

See fit #1 thru #4 below, there is new added information for #2, #3 and #4.
I did not find any gunsmiths that would do what I'm doing for the prices I'm offering.
I trying to establish this as a true turn-key offer for you folks.

Regards,
BM1

Sounds great, BM1...I'm ready!
Need that 40S&W 4.25" "Drop-In" barrel - $225.00, as stated for my 1066. E-mail me and let me know when to send you the money.

Thanks!
 
I'll take my two barrels as drop-in (option #1) as opposed to fitting with my slide...

Need to cut some corners, being I just found out I'm having the kitchen redone. :(
 
Barrel blanks are in and production has started

Hi All,
I have received all the Precision Barrel Blanks and started the cut-off operation to get the production started.
There is quite a few operations to complete these barrels, but we are on our way.

BM1

Count me in for a 1006 bbl in 357sig & if/when you get to the 4006, I would love one in 357sig too. I tried to get Barsto to do them, but they wanted 25 then when I was almost there, they pulled the plug on the 357sig. Please keep me in the loop. Obviously a semi-drop in would be easier but I am open to custom fit. The price is very fair.
thanks

Hello,

If it's not too late to get in on the ordering, I would like a drop-in .40 and 357 sig barrel for my 1006, plus an extended slide stop assembly.

Thanks
 
Late Order

I just this week purchased an excellent S&W 1006 and now have just discovered this thread due to another post for a late order.

If it's not too late, I very much also would like to order a DROP-IN .40S&W barrel for my new 1006.

Thanks!

Production Update - Number of Remaining Conversion Barrels Available ! ! !

Hello Everyone,
Just to give you all the "Heads Up" on the project.
The first couple basic operations have been completed on both the 9 m.m. and .40 S&W barrel blanks for all the different barrel lengths, 3.625", 4.25", 5.00" and a special 6.00" length.
(Only the Shadow knows..........)
This includes the saw cutting operation and facing both ends to qualify the manufacturing OAL, over all lengths)

I am very pleased with the way things are progressing.
Open machine time has not been a hindrance as of yet.
I do see a couple of production bottlenecks down the road, I'll cross that path when I get there.

Because of the barrel supplier giving me gun drilled/riffled blanks that were not quite to the stated concentricity tolerance to the O.D., in one of the batches,
it has forced me to re-engineer the design, having to add a couple of operations to true up the parts to the through bores utilizing centers,
allowing me to drive off of more controlled surfaces (Diameters) that I have now created.

The long story - short version is that the irony of this;
because of this oversight on the part of the barrel supplier it will result in a much finer end product.

I have to say that I wish I had thought of processing them in this manner in the beginning so as not to have to change around all my CAD/CAM designs/drawings.
See note: "Hindsight is always 20/20"

The other thing I would like to add is that it appears that the quantities that I initially selected is close to working out perfect.
Without taking a poll in the beginning, there was no real way to judge what the response would have been and that would have added quite a bit of time to this little project.

If everyone follows through with their verbal requests,
it will leave me with very few to advertise on the other forums and that's OK for the first production run.

Available remaining barrels;

In the 9 m.m. bore, (9x19, .356 TSW, .357 SIG, 9x23 Winchester and 9x25 Dillon)
There are;
4 - 4.25" barrels available and
2 - 5.00" barrels available.

Slightly more remaining in the .40 S&W/10 m.m. bore, because I figured for twice the quantity.
There are;
10 - 4.25" barrels available and
17 - 5.00" available.

I thought more people would be interested in the .40 S&W conversion than the 9's and the .357 SIG
I now know better for next time, although it will probably be a smaller run being the market will be saturated, maybe?
See note: "Hindsight is always 20/20"

Sorry about being so long winded, I just want to answer any/all questions that you all might have.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best regards,
BM1
 
BM1, Sounds great! Wishing you all the sucess with the work, I'm sure the customers will be estatic with the products, with your attention to the details!

Best regards!
 
BM1, Glad to hear of your progress, it sounds like it's going well. I would like to order a 4.25" in .40 in the #1 drop-in configuration and a 5.00" in .40, in the #2 configuration.

Please PM me with your payment details.

Thanks again,
TS
