Give the guy my e-mail and I'll trade him for the correct barrel (assuming his is in good shape). The correct barrel for his gun would have "Colt .45 Auto" stamped down near the lower lug, and I have a spare. There were actually several "H P" barrel variations. The first (from S/N 25,000 to 120,000) had separate P and H letters stamped upright when viewed from the left side. Then intermixed at 85,000 up until 450,000 The P and H ran parallel to the centerline of the bore. Finally, from 425,000 to 710,000 the H and P formed a single character (HP) sharing the same leg. The ones including a P on the lower lug were the later ones for the Transistion M1911A1s.
