Lately I've gotten quite a few people asking how to fix the two piece outer barrel on the WE/SOCOM Gear 1911's after I posted a video showing the gun functioning perfectly fine. I thought I would take some time out to make a quick tutorial on how to fix the problem yourself and not have to shell out the cash for a Marui one piece outer barrel.
I was actually quite surprised as to how easy this was. I was originally going to pick up a used Marui one piece and then someone mentioned to me just gluing it back together. I went back and forth on this because I wasn't sure if that would fix the problem when the problem actually comes from WE/SOCOM Gear gluing the barrels from the factory. Then someone suggested JB Weld and I just happened to have some of the Harbor Freight Quick Drying Epoxy on hand so I gave it a try and it worked!
It's pretty much common knowledge to use JB Weld to get the barrel to hold together correctly but I thought I would pass the idea along just in case it hadn't crossed someone else's mind.
Thanks!
