Mk23 maple leaf barrel upgrade

[sonofsammo]

Aaaaaaaargh!
I've juts taken my mk23 to bits to fit new barrel and bucking.
And there's a problem. The outer barrel is narrower than the inner barrel. Which means the new barrel won't go through.
How did I miss this in the how to videos??? and what do I do now??

Look for those how to videos again. You need a drill and a drill bit. (Can’t remember the size possibly 9/12mm) and gently put it into the outer barrel. If you can’t find the vid lemme know and I’ll have a look.

Here you go. make sure you disassemble it as the manual shows though. Guy in the vid just pops out the slide lock pin. You should pull the slide back a bit til the little grove makes space for a raised part to slide out

Cheers - I'd been using the Kicking Mustang vid - he seems to miss that bit out!
Now I have to go and buy a drill bit.
And a drill......  :lol:
