Sig 551 barrel swap
Has anyone done a barrel swap on an original Sig 551 or know of anyone that does this?

Thanks

There were two and one was CCF which was Capital city Firearms owner larry and he imported a lot of items back then. One was Keith Buckner in Birmingham close to me and I knew him and he did several swaps as Larry had carbon fiber receiver blocks made and sold some of those. Keith developed cancer and even though he was young I don,t know if he survived. I bought the 550 and 551 first models around 1988 and got one extra new barrel from Larry at CCF also I think he is still around.
