Hey folks, looking for someone who'd be willing to finish ream and throat the barrel on a new 1911 I'm picking up today. I don't have a finish reamer or a dremel and I've also never used either of them before so I'd rather not screw something up.

Would be happy to pay via paypal F&F, venmo, or USPS money order and I'd be happy to throw in 300 (+ some change) of my range pickup large primer 45 acp brass as a bonus to pay it forward for the generosity of the community here - I have a feeling one of yall could use the brass more than me. Let me know, thanks!

Contact Steve at Integrity arms — not sure if he’ll do it for primers but he’ll cerainly be fair

Just for my education. Why do you believe the new barrel needs to be finished reamed?

 

[vermilionbird]

it’s a factory new springfield barrel. I figured it’s just cheap insurance

So is this a production gun that you bought new?

yes

I’d leave it alone, 99% chance it’s already way over cut already as far as length goes. Does a new round drop in the chamber? Then you’re good to go if it does.

I'll check it out once I have it in my hands!

shoot it first, I mean, why not?

I have an ‘86 Springfield with the original barrel in it still that was really short chambered and rounds would stick. But I have not seen any current production Springfield with short chambers.
