By the complete top end, do you mean the top of the barrel that's exposed? When I've looked at pictures of blank-converted Glocks and SIGs, that's the only external mod visible, and that affects the complete barrel assembly. So if you replace the entire barrel assembly, would those guns be set to fire live rounds again?
I do realize 1911s are a bit harder because the ejection port has to be widened, but does that also affect ability to chamber and fire live rounds if the barrel gets replaced?
