First barrel had alot of play. You could push out the hinge pin or shake it out. I had hole milled on frame and barrel and new one installed. You have to punch it out now. Forearm had trouble with the fit. Horrible accuracy. You had to force the front screw. Hogged out the forearm and put in solid metal system. Worked on the trigger myself.

So now, if I wanted to buy a new barrel, I have to take back to my smith and have the hole milled to match perfectly with the oversized one.

Ended up selling the other frame and pieces. But a prohunter is a different lockup.
