1911 5″ .460 Rowland Conversion

$342.00

These 5″ Government barrels are laboriously machined to precice, match-grade, specifications from high-carbon steel and finished with our game-changing Dura-Match process. Resulting in stronger, longer lasting and, (yes), even better looking barrels. While these “harder-than-stainlless” barrels are more difficult, more time consuming and more expensive to machine, (even before we put them through our Dura-Match process), we feel the value added far outweighs the incremental increases in cost and effort. We think you’ll agree.

What is Dura-Matching, and why do we do it if our barrels are already harder than most?

By infusing nitrogen and carbon molecules at and below the surface of our carbon steel barrels [in a precisely timed, low temperature, (1,050deg F), process] we are able to dramatically increases surface wear resistance, toughness and corrosion resistance, of these already-hard barrels, and leave them with a very attractive, deep black, appearance. Offering you the best of all worlds.

Note: The 24lb. reaction spring included will allow you to comfortably cycle .460 Rowland® ammunition; however, without one of our new Recoil Assemblies this spring may be too heavy to reliably cycle .45 ACP or other low-powered alternative ammunition and you may need to reduce your reaction spring tension, remove your compensator, or both in order to do so.

Alternatively: You can tune your converted gun with one of our upgraded recoil management systems and cycle a much wider range of ammunition without changing your set-up at all ! Check out our standard Tougher-Buffer Recoil Assembly or our space-age V2 Recoil Damper to find out all about them.

A two-piece full length guide rod and open-ended guide rod plug. The .460 Rowland® Tougher Buffer System is elegant and versatile. It lasts longer and is simply more effective than other recoil assemblies available.

The 460 Rowland V2 Recoil Damper is a precision-machined “micro-motor” designed to manage slide speed and recoil. It consists of a piston and cylinder coupled with our 30-50,000 cycle reaction spring. It actively slows the slide, regardless of force, in the last inch and a half of travel, working much like the air brakes on a semi truck.

Description

DISCLAIMER: All our 1911 kits use standard un-ramped barrels and barrel bushings. If you need a fully ramped barrel, bull barrel or any specific combination please contact us for pricing and availability. For best results we only recommend using single-stack 1911’s.
While our conversion kits are designed to be a drop-in fit to most standard 1911’s, there is a possibility that your barrel may need to be gunsmith fit. Minor fitting/adjustments are common when installing any aftermarket part into your 1911. The 1911 platform is extremely popular with thousands of models put out by hundreds of companies. Each gun is different and we produce our barrels to fit in most guns while still being functional.
We are more than happy to help if you run into any fitting issues.

About the Tougher Buffer

With it’s two-piece full length guide rod and open-ended guide rod plug, The .460 Rowland® Tougher Buffer System is elegant and versatile.
It lasts longer and is simply more effective than other recoil assemblies available.

Our Tougher Buffer Guide Rod is .25″ in diameter (thinner than most) to accommodate the flat-wound springs we like so much.

Ships with our standard 20Lb Flat-Wound, Dual-Action Spring. This is the spring that we have found works best in most standard 5″ 1911’s to cycle both .45 ACP and .460 Rowland through the .460 Rowland Conversion Kit.

We have more Flat-Wound, Dual-Action springs available for your tuning needs!

About the V2 RECOIL DAMPER

If you’ve been disappointed by other recoil systems we have a solution for you.

If you’re ready to upgrade your handgun to a truly superior recoil system that will not break or fail, the 460 ROWLAND® V2 RECOIL DAMPER is the upgrade for you. This device really works, folks.

The 460 Rowland V2 Recoil Damper is a precision-machined “micro-motor” designed to manage slide speed and recoil. It consists of a piston and cylinder coupled with our 30-50,000 cycle reaction spring. It actively slows the slide, regardless of force, in the last inch and a half of travel, working much like the air brakes on a semi truck.

With that force absorbed, the reaction spring now has only to return the slide. This enables you to use whatever tension you like that will return it to battery: Higher for a rugged backwoods environment, very light for competition shooting…or anything in-between.

This was John Browning’s original

intent for the spring. It is now realized again with today’s more powerful rounds. And the V2 Recoil Damper will work with any caliber.

The V2 Recoil Damper includes a Standard Reaction Spring and a set of six SS Shims.

Different Reaction Spring tensions and additional Shims, including more elegant Brass Shims, are available to suit your needs.

Special Note: Stainless Steel Guns

All 1911’s are a bit different and in some rare instances the higher friction of the stainless steel will prevent you from shooting both .460 Rowland® and .45 ACP from the same set-up. Should that happen with your gun, additional tuning may be needed. This is a relatively simple task. And of course, if you need any help or advice along the way, we are always here to help in person in Tulsa, via email or over the phone (918) 928-7460. We have successfully converted hundreds of Stainless Steel guns….yours can be the next!

If you’d rather have us do the install, tuning and testing, you can always ship us your entire gun for conversion!
