1911 5" .45 replacement barrel source

[Kjm1971]

Wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a replacement barrel for a budget 1911. It's a $6-700 sti gun, and I just don't see spending $400+ for a barrel, bushing, and fitting time all to have a $6-700 sti gun at the end. Any recommendations for a finished chamber "drop in"(I know they don't drop in) reasonably priced barrel?

Thanks

I bought ROTO brand drop in 1911 barrels from Sarco. $49USD. They work well.

I emailed them to inquire about shipping to Canada, and haven't got a reply yet. Did you have any issues shipping here?

Thanks,
