About Us: We have been collecting fine firearms since the 1960's. We are private sellers, selling fine firearms form our personal collection. Most of our firearms are either New in original boxes or hardly used and in 99% condition or better. As time goes on we feel that we should let other collectors enjoy some of the fine firearms we have held over the years. Interested buyers need to send a text message to my personal phone, and I will return the call. Reason being we get several scam callers every day and we don't answer the phone unless we know who is calling. Thank you very much for your understanding, we will be glad to answer any questions you have or send more detailed photographs if requested.
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.
