Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out here. I have a 1957 or 58 Colt Python, SN 21XX; I need a new barrel for this gun. Actually I have been in need of a new bbl. for a number of year, I guess it's time to do something about it. In any case, I seem to remember that the threads on the older Pythons were different from new ones, so I simply can buy just any old Pythno barrel and screw it in. Is this correct, or have the threads always been the same?
Even if I can use a new barrel I would prefer to have a barrel of the correct vintage with the proper roll marks. Where would be the best place to try to locate such a barrel? If anyone has a barrel like this in 95%, prefer 98%, condition, please let me know. This fine old Colt has been out of commision too long and needs some TLC. Thanks in advance!!!
