Kart Barrel – XACT Fit Kit – 40S&W 5″ Non-Ramped

Kart Barrel – XACT Fit Kit – .40 S&W

5″ Government Non-Ramped Match-Grade 1911 Barrel

Match-Grade Accuracy Without the Burden of Full Custom Fitting

The Kart Barrel XACT Fit Kit .40 S&W Barrel is specifically engineered for shooters, gunsmiths, and competitive 1911 builders who demand match-grade accuracy yet, at the same time, want to avoid the complexity of a full gunsmith-fit barrel. For that reason, Kart designed the XACT Fit system to deliver exceptional lockup, outstanding accuracy, and reliable feeding while, at the same time, dramatically reducing installation time.

Moreover, because Kart remains one of the most respected names in precision 1911 components, this barrel reflects decades of proven engineering. This model features a 5″ Government-length, non-ramped .40 S&W configuration, which, consequently, makes it ideal for competition pistols, duty firearms, and high-performance custom builds.

Match-Grade Performance with Minimal Adjustment

Unlike standard drop-in barrels, the Kart XACT Fit Kit functions as a semi-drop-in match barrel. As a result, it bridges the gap between convenience and precision. Instead of sacrificing accuracy for ease of installation, you gain the accuracy benefits of a traditionally fitted Kart barrel while still requiring only minimal adjustment.

Furthermore, Kart machines each barrel from premium ordnance-grade steel and applies a proprietary rifling process. Because of this, shooters benefit from:

• A mirror-smooth bore for consistent bullet travel

• Uniform bullet stabilization for improved accuracy

• Reduced friction for increased velocity and barrel life

• Enhanced precision at extended distances

In addition, Kart air-gauges every bore to an extremely tight .0002″ tolerance. Consequently, each shot experiences consistent pressures, which, in turn, results in reliable and repeatable accuracy.

Non-Ramped (GI-Style) Design for Proven Feeding Reliability

This version features a non-ramped, GI-style barrel design, which makes it perfectly suited for standard 1911 frames. However, Kart does not stop there. Instead, Kart refines the throat and feed-ramp geometry to go well beyond traditional specifications.

As a result, this design offers:

• Compatibility with standard GI-style frames

• Smooth feeding across a wide range of bullet profiles

• Improved reliability with hollow points and wadcutters

• Greater durability than conventional non-ramped barrels

Therefore, whether you are building a competition gun or upgrading a duty pistol, this barrel ensures smooth, consistent cycling under demanding conditions.

Faster Installation with Professional-Level Results

The Kart XACT Fit Kit includes precision pre-machined components that significantly simplify installation. While some fitting is still required—most commonly hood length and lower lug adjustments—the process is far more efficient than fitting a traditional National Match barrel.

As a result, this kit is ideal for:

• Custom 1911 builds

• Accuracy upgrades for factory pistols

• USPSA, IPSC, and IDPA competition firearms

• Gunsmiths seeking time-efficient, repeatable results

• Enthusiasts who want professional-level accuracy

Therefore, you achieve gunsmith-level performance without the extended labor normally associated with match barrel fitting.
