This made the barrel stick out over 1/4 of an inch past the end of the slide, which the RS doesnt do. Simple fix was a new shorter, non orange outer barrel. Of course others have ahd tabs added that pop off, so the best way to find out is to take the barrel out of the frame and look at it real close. Either way its easy to fix, as outer barrels are not a restricted part, even the non orange ones.

Uhh... what tabs. Are you talking about a different system that isn't TM, as different systems aren't necessarily compatible? (e.g. KSC, TM, WA... and all their clones)

I don't know if it's glued and press fitted, glued and threaded, etc. I figured I'd ask here first though before I bust out the heavy machinery lol.

You sure it's glued on? My experience with used TM's looks like the orange tips are painted on... As TS said, ordering a new barrel would be awesome. Do note that in general barrels that have barrel lugs (is that part on the barrel, or on the slide - I'm not sure) should be matched with a material that is similar in strength on the slide. In simpler terms (also because what I just said made little to no sense upon re-reading it), metal barrel should be paired with a metal slide. Failing to do so could cause premature wear (big whoop, I know), but I haven't really been able to find an aftermarket MEU slides, so the choice is yours on that one. Haven't tried this out personally, as of yet - but hell, I don't want to take any chances. Can't remember where I got this information from though... might have been the Hi-Capa/1911 info thread.
