Hey! I found my .45 barrel bushing reamer!
![]() It got misplaced into, of all places, my drill and ...reamer...drawer... ![]() Kinda grubby looking...Like it got put away without being cleaned... ![]() It's obvious why I couldn't find it...It looks like any other drill tube... ![]()

I find that a stainless bushing on an all-blued pistol is quite attractive.

![]() For those not familiar with the collet bushing, here is one with its 38 Super barrel. ![]() Edit: The bushing has four slots. The 'groove' you see is an internal ridge that physically touches the barrel. A 'normal' Colt bushing is a thousandth or so over the barrel dia, and theoretically rides on a film of oil, similar to an automotive crankshaft bearing. I don't shoot my Colts enough to notice any appreciable wear, and the collet flange ID is within a thousandth or so of the barrel dia, so I suppose that acts as a kind of 'fallback' if the fingers should wear enough to no longer center the barrel in the bushing. Just conjecture on my part. ![]()

I own a Series 70 full size commercial Colt with the collet bushing that I bought new about 1971 and have never had a problem with it.

That 1911A1 of yours looks great. Congratulations Sergio.
PS. More than great it looks brand new. Amazing for a 1943 pistol. My 1911A1. Mostly Ithaca but with a Remington frame, was rebuilt in Augusta Arsenal in the 50s and looks like it went through WWII, Korea and Vietnam before it found it's way into my hands. ![]() Last edited by kurusu; 05-09-2016 at 05:25 PM. |

Arsenal rebuilds are sought after by many collectors now, they represent a page of the US history. ![]()

I was shocked to find, while measuring barrel/muzzle diameters last night, that I have seven 1911-style handguns!
![]() There's only one I shoot with any regularity: the Gold Cup. ![]() I gotta clean out my safe. ![]()

I'm still waiting for someone to make a 1911 with a Mauser banner logo on it...

I actually saw a Remington in my LGS today on consignment for $1800 in pristine condition. Probably one of the NRA refurb pistols available from the DCM...
Alas, not a Mauser. Marc

I don't know... For some reason, it's very difficult to find any info on this gun...
![]() Seriously, I don't know if mrerick's picture also is a photoshop, but wasn't there a company that stamped slides with the Mauser banner and sold them as German made? |

Isn't that the Mauser banner just above the slide release lever in the M1911m1?
