Looking for a used Commander length 1911 45 barrel.

Wow! You find the oddest stuff!!

A silly question, but could a Gov't length barrel be cut down to fit? It wouldn't be match grade, but I have cut and crowned several barrels that have produced good accuracy with nothing more than a hacksaw, file, and case mouth deburring tool.

If not, I have a complete Gov't length upper end that I could possibly be talked out of. It sometimes rides on a 30's era Llama 9mm Largo. I recently picked up a 6" .38 Super barrel that I just facet do my buddy to thread for my 9mm can. I'm hoping to load Supers subsonic and have some suppressed 1911 fun!
