I have a M1917 S/N 46817 built in April 1918. It has a blown out barrel. I have removed the barrel pin and unscrewed the damaged barrel. I have searched the internet for a direct replacement barrel and can't find one. Question I have is: Can some other .45 caliber N-frame barrel with the proper notch for the barrel pin be adapted to the gun frame with minimal "Smithing?" The gun is a shooter, and I don't care about how it looks or if it's value will be affected. I don't care if the replacement barrel shoulder matches the frame.
