does anyone have a copy of the Bar-Sto Glock Barrel Installation Instructions?

Hi, friend gave me a Glock barrel but he misplaced the installation/fitting instructions. Hoping someone might send me a copy. thanks

Fitting a semi Fit barrel
1) First check the fit of the barrel in the slide. If it goes in with no resistance then go to step 2. If barrel sticks in the slide then LOOK to see where it is sticking. The locking lug length is frequently the cause. You should remove VERY small amounts of material from the HOOD area only. When the barrel fits with a little bit of contact or just a slight bit of clearance, we feel .0015 is about the max, go to step 2.

2) Then check to see if the underlug is canted or straight up and down (centered between the rails). If it is canted, you will need to remove material from either the left or right side of the hood. If the lug is to the left then remove material from the right side (lug down, muzzle away from you).

3) When this is done, assemble the top end and try on the frame. If the slide assembles and locks up smoothly or just snaps into lock up with little to no pressure then you should be ready to go. If you cannot get the slide assembly locked up on the frame then we recommend you either send it to us or take it to an experienced gunsmith. You will need to send the whole pistol for fitting if you send it to us. We ask for a fitting fee of $65 and the return shipping of $60.00 to $85.00 approx. for the complete pistol. When shipping anything to Bar-Sto, please include all your contact information and a note stating what you would like done.

REMEMBER WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO THE BARREL BY SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE OF IMPROPER FITTING OR MACHINING! YOUR BARREL IS EXPENSIVE, BE SURE YOUR GUNSMITH IS FULLY QUALIFIED OR SEND IT TO US. ANY WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED IF MACHINED ON OR DAMAGE BY SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN OUR COMPANY!

thank you

That is just what I found. Dont know if you have a semi-fit or match barrel. And dont know what the actual instructions say.

It should be noted that Barstow chambers their barrels on the short end and that the material to be removed comes off the FRONT of the hood length dimension, not the top or rear.

It's quite different than the 1911 barrel. I've had great luck with the Bar-Sto gunsmith fit 1911 barrels, just never tried the Glock or Sig type before.

I've been vacillating between trying out a gunsmith fit Glock barrel vs their semi fit.
