I have bought 2 barrels from Fusion and the only fitting required was stoning a couple thousands off the back of the barrel hood. Excellent barrels.

[@fusionfirearms]

Thank you for the super comments and support!!

hmm I needed to deepen the lugs, barrel looked like it was pointing down. Took fking forever to do with a needle file

[@ArmeroPR]

Didn’t know much about Fusion parts till recently. Got one of their grip safeties and it was made of billet with an undersized pin hole for a perfect fit after fitting. Very nice quality parts. High recommend.

We will be making a more in-depth fitting series. We will have videos on the actual step-by-step process of fitting a barrel coming in the near future.

I have a question. Does the 45 have feeding issues with ramped barrels with the first round out of the magazine. Specifically nose dive jams.

[@fusionfirearms]

This video may give you a place to start. While in the video, it is not a ramped barrel, it still applies. We will also have more videos on this coming out soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaDbkn-LqMRlbtE
