Description:
In 1970 in an attempt to improve the accuracy of production guns the barrel bushing was redesigned, along with the barrel. In this 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" barreled 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 1000 Colt 1911 guns were made with the special barrel and bushing. This is unfired 100% new gun. Colt letter included.
