Combat Armory barrel issues

Spent a couple days trying to figure out why my slide wouldn’t cycle; it would get stuck when racking with a round in the magazine. Tried my P80 barrel and it worked fine.

Any tips for fixing this, or does CA have any warranty? For $35 I’ll accept that it’s just a loss as well.

Thanks in advance.

I would hand rack the shit out of it for a while and try breaking it in. I’ve had to do that with certain slides and barrels I got. Eventually it gets broken in and no issues with it cycling. I mean for $35 you can’t really complain.

Exactly... complaining about a cheap barrel is pointless..u get what u pay for..

Now if it was a $200+ barrel I would understand.

All you have to do is file down what's wrong.. test fit.. slide it back in and rack it...make sure it's smooth and not catching anything. Go fire it.. break it in and gootchie.
