i am building a 500A2 and the barrel is 1 inch at the muzzel and 1 1/8 inch, 11 inches in front of the receiver ring. i wanted a barrel band swivel but couldn't find one made in that diameter. i don't own a machine shop and the fellow that used to make me "one of" parts died about a year ago. i contacted kerry after reading several posts from him here and looking at his web site.
he made the part for me. he was easy to work with, he was reasonbly priced and he was quick. i tried to post a pic of the barrel band but am to computer illiterate to get it to work.
already thinking of the next project: ruger #1 safety buttons

Posting photos here is really quite simple if you have an account with Photobucket (which can be free)

I am sure others would like to see a photo of the part.

Send me the photo kjkolosky@comcast.net and I will post it for you.

Now for a size comparison, the ID of the band is 1 1/8" diameter That is one big barrel

and another one

Looks good KC, and I'm not surprised that he was good to work with.

Geeze thats one big band! Any larger anD you could just use a tail pipe hanger. Good work KC.
