The 1911 Barrel hoods last a long time sometimes and then others self destruct right away. I like the idea that they hold lube a little better and [erhaps that is where this jeweling stuff started. I started doing it 18 years ago when a pal inj Raton showed me how simple it was to set up and do. I use a little mill table from Sears that he gave me.

I liked to do it because I made forty bucks for the job.

This one has had a lot of rounds through it and still looks good. It was built 12 years ago.
