BrianN 0 Posted September 17, 2013 So for my 1911 build I just finished fitting the slide to the frame. My next step is fitting the barrel and bushing to the slide. Should I fit the bushing first so that it can hold the barrel in place when determining the fitting I need to do for the barrel hood to fit into the barrel slot? Or will fitting the hood change the fit of the barrel to the bushing as the barrel hood is fit to the slide? Should i fit he barrel first using my friends stock colt bushing and then fit the oversized bushing after the barrel is fit? I hope my question and way of asking it weren't too confusing. Thanks in advance for any help/advice you guys can give Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted October 4, 2013 Do you have the Kuunhausen or Kuleck books? C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted October 4, 2013 http://home.comcast.net/~k2a/Brownells1911.html It's an interesting read. I found it helped me to make the Kuunhausen book less opaque. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
