The Disavowed Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Hello. I am currently working on a 1911 build (tm or clone) and I need to install a longer outer barrel. I am struggling to find a longer outer barrel for a 1911 (I don’t want an external thread, just longer barrel). I could try cutting another barrel down and threading it so I can screw the two together joining the two to make one longer one. Failing that, does anyone know where I could easily source the part, or would a hi-cappa outer barrel fit? I don’t have a hi-cappa to compare, but they do look pretty similar. I need something similar in length to a hardballer, so about 6” or 7” I suppose. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 A TM Hi Cappa outer barrel will fit a TM 1911. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted August 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Excellent information, thank you for that, I have seen longer hi-cappa’s so may find it easier to get one of those. Not sure the best place for small parts so I am open to any suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Disavowed Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Thanks for the offer, but I actually hate hi-cappa’s (don’t all flame me!), I only need a really long outer barrel but I can still only find 4 or 5 inch ones, and I need a 6 or 7 inch (🙄that’s what she said). I have looked at all the normal sites I know such as wgc, ehobbyasia, den trinity, redwolf, wolf armouries, and a few others I can’t remember but all to no avail so far. Who would have thought it would be so difficult, why nobody catering for long slides? (Struggle to find those too for a 1911) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their are also shooter's design ones and SD longer outer barrels but they are Infinity and Sti slide more suited to a 2011 build. BTW, it's not a complete gun I am selling, only the top half complete with innards and it works on a TM 1911 too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Disavowed Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Ok, I’m still toying about with my project 1911, I am just not quite 100% sure about my barrel, I might port it, then again I might not, I’m not sure yet. I was wondering though if anyone has one of the two part barrels that unscrew by the chamber, that they were able to measure the size of the thread that it screws on, was wondering if it’s 14mm? The sort of thing I mean is something like this: Many thanks 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
