Wolfe Barrel for Glock 22

[mikecdk]

Has anyone had experience with Wolfe barrels? I put one in my Glock 22 and it shot fine for about 100 rounds...then with the grime build up, the rounds wouldn't feed into it...if I clean it, it works fine for another 50-100 rounds or so...is this normal?

Thanks!

I had the same problem with a KKM 9mm barrel for a Browning. I took it back to Greg Derr, he reamed out the chamber a little, and now it's fine.

After market barrels very often have tighter chambers but this shouldn't cause the problem you are having. This could be ammo related. If you are not using enough crimp on your rounds (I am assuming you are loading your own) there may be a slight flare at the case mouth. As soot builds up in the chamber this flare can act like a scoop picking up enough soot to prevent the round from chambering. A little more crimp could be the cure.

Thanks guys...this is a Glock so I use std ammo. I'll perhaps try a different brand and see if that helps.
