Looking for a spare barrel for M39-2,

as the original barrel seems to been stored witha round in the chamber, and the chamber got ate by "verdigris".
so firing goes good for about five roinds then, the follow on will not extract from the chamber.

S&W doesn't stock, barrels, but might modify another S&W model barrel to fit.

Verdigris is a GREEN corrosion product from copper ! Is yours green or some other color ? Have you tried to clean it ?

I've seen brass eaten by verdigris, but steel?
I don't run stainless brushes through my bores, but a stainless chamber brush may be in order.

PM Stony I believe he has (or recently had) a complete slide assembly he would sell. Early barrels had a hump in the feed ramp, you want the later barrel.
