CMP barrel install update

installed my first CMP 17 barrel today, went very smooth, much nicer then the 03 barrels they offer,
one of the easiest barrels iv done in a while, lines were 1/8 apart before setting the barrel, used about 70 pounds of force to line it up,
front sight keyway looks straight...will finish ream and testfire in the morning.

I'm looking forward to this report, as I have one of the barrels coming also.

That is really great to hear, as I will be sending you mine to install once the CMP delivers the new barrel to my door!

the extractor cut is already there? if so, sweet!

yes , the extractor and the sight key, as well as a witness mark. the 03 barrels however, are poo poo.

I purchased one of the CMP M1917 barrels, with the intent to have ready in case I purchased one with a shot-out barrel, or one of my existing M1917 needed a new one. So far, hasn't happened. Wondered how they'd work out. Thanks for your report. Semper Fi.
