    mag barrel options

    All right everone give me some ideas here. I am looking to purchase another barrel for my automag RT. I have the stock twistlock 11inch barrel. I want something better. I have one of Doc's barrel adaptors. So i am now looking at cocker threaded barrels.

    As far as twistlocks go, you can find freak backs as well as dye barrels. I have never used a barrel adapter so I don't know if there are any performance drawbacks. If you are set on using cocker barrels, I would consider a ULE body.

      I have an RT classic and am unable to get the ULE body. I am unable to find any twist lock barrels i may just have bad luck.

        There are plenty of mag-threaded barrels out there to choose from. Granted, not many are still available new, but if you check the BST, you're bound to see a few.

        Pardon me, but I can't resist discreetly tooting my own horn.

        Cheers.

          Doc's adapter works just fine. As for cocker barrels, it depends how much you can/want to spend and what your tastes are.

          I personally like kits, and last I saw there were a few for sale here. (scepter, kaner, and freak IIRC)

            I have a decent selection of twist lock left here: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=242305

            I would suggest a dye aluminum if you shoot 689ish paint. I always had good luck with them on my classic.

              ULE on a Classic is not impossible, but not for everyone.


              I have never used a barrel adapter, but since it's just used to replace the breach, performance should be the same a using a ULE.
              Be Safe!

                This is verry awesome. However I am not in the position to be able to do this.

                    I missed a twist lock aluminum autospirit. . .

                    Oh, and if you're looking for new (and are cool with brass), Palmers still does twist locks built to order.
