I am building a 9mm 1911 for Bullseye on a Caspian frame and slide set. In a previous thread on the subject Bob Hunter of Hunter Custom stated:

"There's many good barrel manufactures; several have already been named. That being said I would not overlook a Schuemann AET barrel. I've heard claims of the AET barrel being able to shoot .5 inch groups at 50 yards when tested from a barrel fixture. I'll have to say after buiding several guns using the AET barrels I have no reason to doubt this."

Does anyone else have experience with 9MM Schuemann AET barrels?

Which one would have more potential mechanical accuracy - the conventional barrel with a bushing or a bull barrel?

Perhaps more importantly will Shuemann fit their barrels? If not who would you all recommend?

Thanks Chris

I have one in a 9mm SVI built by george at EGW that shoots ragged holes with Winchester white box ammo at ranges up to 25 yards

I have never shot it further than that.

AET barrels are hard to get right now and Schuemann does not offer fitting service.

I do like the barrels very, very much though in 9mm as the AET was designed for that caliber originally to meet the very stringent accuracy requirements of a European distributor of SVI.

I don't see a 9mm on their website. Do you know they make one?

 

[Anthony Lombardo]

I have one so I am pretty sure

There listed as .355 the barrel can then be chambered for 9mm, 38 Super, 9X21 etc

Whoops-----I mispoke - his chambers are caliber specific in the AET line.

AET barrels come pre chambered in 9mm or .38 super. Wil does not sell the barrels unchambered as the chambers are fluted.

Check out the AET link on his site and click on classic barrels for a bushing barrel (what I would recommend for a 9mm)

What does that do to the brass?

 

[Anthony Lombardo]

nothing but leave very subtle streaks.
Read the website--it explains the rationale and the outcomes

Anthony..

Is your barrel a ramped barrel. The Caspian frame/slide set that I was going to order was for a Wilson/Nowlin Ramp. It does not appear that Schuemann makes one of their Classic AET barrels in 9mm with a Wilson/Nowlin ramp but rather he offers a Clark/Para Ord/Lissner ramp configuration at least in his AET line.

I am reluctant to switch barrel ramp configurations. I have had good success with the Wilson/Nowlin Ramp in conjuction with the Metalform 9mm (springfield with internal feed ramp config). I dont want any feed problems.

The feedramp dimensions are the same with the c/p and nowlin ramp so the AET barrels feed great. They have a curved feedramp and actually feed better than a straight ramp so, get a c/p ramp and it will work just fine,

The difference between a c/p and nowlin ramp are in the area that contacts the frame bed. the c/p is radiused and stronger, IMO.

Anthony I don't believe you will get the gun and barrel timed right by trying to use a Clark/Para ramped barrel in a frame cut for the Wilson/Nowlin ramp.
I have in the past milled the radius on a Clark ramped barrel to work in a Wilson/Nowlin frame.

I think the poster was asking about the feedramp, not the barrel feet.

I agree with you on the cut.

 

[Ericthenorse]

sounds like a problem with terminology..... When they sell it, they call it a Wilson/nowlin ramp. So when someone says that they don't want to change from a wilson ramp to a clark ramp, they are most likely talking about the cut required in the frame. As far as the actual ramp.... The AET barrels are supposed to have a curved feed ramp as opposed to the flat ramp on the other ones...From what I just read....:rock:

 

[pingun.45]

got one.....

I am currently fitting a 6in bull barrel AET 9x19 barrel in my wannabe Bianchi blaster! It was special order, with a special higher price!:bawling: but I bought it anyway......I will post when I get it done this winter and load test it at 50 yds. I am sure that it will shoot, but with what I know now, I probably would have just bought a KART barrel and been done with it! DougC
