I'm not sure about either of those...The barrel chamber on the AMT was so out-of-spec that it 'bulged' the ejected cases...A Series 70 Colt Gold Cup came up and I sold or traded the AMT...

BTW: I just came up with an easy way to custom fit a barrel bushing.

Sounds good! I had a 4-flute adjustable reamer that I used to use...It was tapered as well as adjustable so I could just keep hand reaming until I had a good fit...

I haven't seen it lately...A lot of my tools grew legs...
