What is the identity of this 1911 barrel?

**Mikesm44** · 09-14-2014 07:56 PM

This barrel is in my Sistema Colt "Ejercito Argentino" pistol and I have always wondered where it came from as it is certainly not original to this pistol. I can recognize that it is a USGI 1911 barrel but I do not know from what time period or what maker. I was hoping to trade someone this barrel for a "correct" Sistema barrel, but I would like to be able to describe it properly first. Thanks for any enlightenment.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

A military contract barrel from the 1960/70's time period, but I can not identify it. Never seen one with the 5 digit number on the right side of the lug.

I believe it is a 'cage number' for the manufacturer. Comes out to 'Starlight Mfg. Co.' Suffolk Co., NY.
