| Question, this was my first handgun purchase when I was 21. This pistol has the standard barrel bushing design. Springfield has since changed the design. Looking for a new barrel bushing, will any run of the mill 1911 bushing work? If not what can be done? |

That era Champion used a short flanged bushing and a spring cap with a tab ala the Colt Officers ACP.
While I never saw one break, I hate the design. So I cut a standard GI bushing and spring cap to the Springfield dimensions and have ran it that way for the last 20 or so years. |
