storm lake machine barrel

[223kid]

I have a storm lake machine 45 acp 3.5 inch length. As you can see in the picture it has failed. I cannot find anyone connected to service @ SLM. Lotsa vendors want to sell one. Is it lifetime warranty??

Take it up with Storm Lake.

Long story short—Springfield isn’t going to cover an aftermarket barrel, and if Storm Lake has gone Tango Uniform (“Toes” Up…)…you’re SOL.

Sorry, that sucks.

I was looking for a Storm Lake barrel. From what I can tell, they were gobbled up by Remington and have gone dark with the Remington re-structuring. Its anyone's guess if they will ever be back. I'm not sure what is going on with Remington, at least they still have a website up, I wanted to get some 16rnd .45ACP double stack magazines, but gave up, since they are out of stock for months everywhere.

Remington used the Para P14.45 pattern; they’re out there, if you look.

Yep, the pistol is an 80% frame build, using a Rock Island 1911A2 double stack frame, which at least appearances wise is a copy of the Para P14.45.

I'll keep looking, I found 14rnd Mecgar magazines for it, and could only find one brand of magazine extensions that fit rather loose. They up it to 15.5 rnds per magazine. i.e. I can get 16 rounds in the magazine, but the spring binds, and it can't be inserted on a closed slide. So 16 to load with an open slide only, or limit it to 15 rounds to get it in on a closed side.

I'll keep looking, but I did the leave your email and we'll email you when they are back in stock 6 months ago at 3 dozen different retailers. Gone back and looked several times, and haven't gotten a single email in 6 months. But I admit, I haven't been keeping a constant watch on the auction sites, where you find the rare items.
