I looked on the Bar Sto web site for a 5 inch 9X23 winchester barrel and noticed they were not offering them. They do offer a 9mm and a 38 super.
1. Can one of these barrels be reamed to accept the 9x23 win?
2. If they can be reamed, which one?
3. Is there a preferred brand of reamer for the BarSto and who (gunsmith) can ream the barrel?

If a modified barrel is possible, the idea would be to use it in a 1991 new roll mark Colt 38 super Government model.

I would use the 9mm barrel short chambered to ream for the 9x23 Winchester.

I don't know how many versions of 9x23 there is out there, but I know threre is more than one.

I would use ONLY the 9x23 Winchester chamber reamer as made by [email protected],....Talk to Dave Kift

I would chamber a barrel to 9x23, Only if I had the complete pistol and I had fit the barrel to the slide.

Our host for this site....Dane Burns has an excellant writeup on the 9x23 on His website

Thanks for the reply. It looks like the BarSto web site lists a 2 to 3 month wait. There is also Kart that makes a 9mm easy fit barrel. Maybe the way I should go is to get a Nowlin drop in barrel. It would be used in a 1991 Colt 38 super.
