The Ed Brown Products pistol barrel for 1911 Government in .45 ACP features a 5 inch drop-in design with a 1/16 twist in stainless steel. Manufactured from T-416 modified, gun barrel quality stainless steel bar stock, the barrel is rifled by precision broach to the original six lands and grooves configuration with one turn in sixteen left hand twist, as originally designed by John Browning. Aerospace certified heat treat and sub zero freezing processes ensure maximum strength and stress relief for both accuracy and longevity.
CNC machining produces slightly oversized dimensions for tighter barrel lockup and “Match Quality” drop-in fit, reducing the need for extensive fitting work while maintaining precision. The outside dimensions are cut to max tolerance, minimizing fitting requirements and maximizing accuracy. Precision broach cut rifling delivers outstanding accuracy with all bullet types, including lead.
This complete kit includes a pre-fit, match-grade barrel, bushing, link and pin for faster installation. Minor fitting may be required, and some fitting may be required when using on a Colt enhanced slide. Whether upgrading an existing 1911 or building a match-grade pistol, this Ed Brown barrel delivers the precision and reliability that shooters demand.
