Series 70, Colt with a collet bushing.
I'd like to get a standard bushing (collet bushings are getting hard to find). Does a smith alter the bushing, or the slide, or both in fitting a new one? Thanks for any info. |

I was pretty sure of that. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks, I appreciate the input. -ppknut ETA: If a new bushing is somewhat larger than the barrel, how do they "tighten" the new bushing to fit the barrel? Or do they? Get a bushing that requires fitting (instead of a "drop in" bushing) and that should not be an issue (as long as your barrel is in spec - if your barrel was previously altered for some reason all bets are off) |
