Update.... found an oem barrel for$50 new at numrich gun supplies
Did you figure out why the barrel bulged?
Had a 1991 Colt that I shot the heck out of. Kept count of the rounds fired up to 45K by primer usage. Kept it a couple more years with no parts breakage before selling it to a friend that wanted it. I had replaced the plastic parts on it with metal ones and the grips with rosewood. Aside from that and the replacement recoil springs it was stock.
Don't think I've heard of a barrel bulge that wasn't caused by some sort of obstruction. What load were you using?
