A COLT COLLECTOR MUST HAVE- Colt 1911, Special Barrel Bushing MFG 1970

Description:
In 1970 an attempt to improve the accuracy of production guns the barrel bushing was redesigned along with the barrel. In the system, the bushing utilized four spring steel “fingers” that gripped the enlarged diameter of the muzzle end of the barrel as the gun returned to battery. By tightening the fit of barrel and bushing in this manner Colt was able to improve the accuracy of the average production gun, without going through the expense of hand,” fitting the older solid barrel bushing to the barrel and slide. It should be noted that the shorter 4 1/4 barrel Commander pistols retained the use of the older solid bushing design, the new “collet” bushing worked quite well however it was phased out around 1988. Only 237 Colt Government models 1911 were made with a special barrel and bushing.  This is unfired 100% new gun in factory box.
