Without the benefit of seeing the pictures you are referring to, I would say, since both are 1911A1 barrels, that outside of quality of finish and slight dimensional differences that may require a little fitting, there shouldn't be anything that would preclude the use of one with the other.

The Auto Ordnance 1911A1 is just a copy of the Government Model 1911A1 ... no significant difference.

The AO 1911A1 is not a particularly good one from the standpoint of close tolerances or fine finish. It's what one might call "serviceable."
