Sure…..

 

[arakboss]

Back to regular programming and original question. It appears to me the only part of the slide that would not be serviceable with barrel installed would be the front sight?

 

[pizzamike]

Just weld on the front sight while you're at. Problem solved.

You could always pick up another paper route and save up the $350 it's gonna take to buy a fully rifled 16" barrel.

My cheap nature wouldn't allow it.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Allow me.
It should be easier to service because the 16" barrel will make it easier to huck into the creek.

Much better to pay the doctor's bill after a Frankengun blows up in your hand.

To answer the original question
Your front sight screw will be permanently blocked by the barrel and due to the extra weight added onto your barrel you may have problems with the slide going back into battery similar to a can being installed without a Neilson device it will fire but may jam, other than that everything else is accessible with the barrel installed

Simply change it to 9.2mm podbyrin.

Problem solved.

Function seems to be OK, not sure what type of ammo he was using.

It's not about the money - it's about the challenge.

Here's to @arakboss - if only more of us were as adventurous as him.

I'll have to say, I've had you pegged wrong all this time.


I figured you as more a JB Weld kind of guy rather than silver solder.

Not sure "Adventurous" is the word I would use….

 

[lucusloc]

I can get the barrel with this copper pipe combo out of the slide because I am running it in a Glock 21 slide.

This set up needs a smaller frame Glock to work.

Reason for rifle length barrel is to make it acceptable for use at rifle only range area.


I have a dream. One day, the how will be more important than the why.

Does your local range not allow SBRs on the "rifle only" range? I would have thought the only requirement there would be a stock, not barrel length.

 

[pizzamike]

So you have a pistol (G17)
You have a carbine kit with a brace (still a pistol)

G17 + Carbine kit with brace = pistol

Why not buy a standard threaded barrel and thread on a super duper long flash suppressor/pipe/fake suppressor or whatever which would get you to your desired 16" length? Once you're done shooting unthread it allowing you to remove the barrel from the slide. Nothing permanent. Until you put a REAL stock on it than it's just a pistol with a long barrel…..

I may be stupid. And overthinking this. There also may be some convoluted stupid NFA regulation that I'm unaware of. If so I apologize. But if you can legally shoot a G17 with a 16" barrel like the one in your video I don't see a reason why you couldn't just thread an extension onto an existing threaded barrel on your braced contraption that the pistol sits in. Is it any different that a comp or flash hider? Just longer. Until that brace turns into a stock it's a pistol.

Cause that whole brace legislation nonsense got kicked to the curb as far as I am aware. Unless it's an overall length issue.

Gosh….. look at me getting sucked into this. Why are we making this so difficult?
