Got an mgm 30-30 barrel off a guy and tried to put it I a G2 frame. Well it won't lock up and I've tried different locking hubs on it and still no whammy. It looks like somebody has tried to file the chamber end of the barrel to get it to fit in a frame so not sure if the chamber end is a little long or what. Any ideas? Tried to get a picture of the chamber end of the barrel.

Something doesn't look right about those locking bolts. Can you post some more pics? Side view, and original view zoomed out a bit?
All the best,
Glenn

If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

Contact MGM,or get a clear in focus pics and repost them, if this is like the barrels I have run into some internet expert probably tried to fix an accuracy or fit problem to a worn frame or a to tight pin

Pics are too big and distorted. Please take clear pics and size them appropriately for the site.
Thank you - Admin.
