You must really want this thing gone. Respectfully, you should be asking more.

Does this still have the collet barrel bushing, the springy four prong one, not a solid bushing?

Hit the wrong button entering in on my phone. That has since been corrected, but yes I want to sell it still. Was going to give it to anybody as it retirement gift, but decided to get him golf clubs instead.

I honestly have no idea. I know next to nothing about 1911's, nor how to even go about looking for the barrel bushing.

The end of the barrel will be thicker at the muzzle, then tapered a bit towards the breach.

So I'm not going to give up my day job to be a gunsmith. Finally figured out how to get it apart and feel a slight taper just behind the barrel bushing but unable to see it.

Checked manufacturing date and it was made in 1982. I added a few more photos as well.

A 70's series collet bushing has fingers and is not solid and will not easily slip off the end of the barrel.

Definitely that one.

Been on the hunt for a solid 1911 BUT you're in Oregon and wouldn't want you to have to travel out this way nor would I want to deal with an FFL.

I have no problem driving to Vancouver, but it would have to be through an FFL. If you change your mind let me know.

I own one of these purchased as a gift for me. Only thing my ex did right but mine has a four digit serial number and it came from Pay Less Drugs back in 1978 when they used to sell some firearms. I love it. SOOOO accurate right out of the box. One of my favorites to this day. Carried it for years with a permit back when your Concealed Weapon's serial number was specified on the license. Was kinda big for summer warm days.

Absolutely I do. Dropped price to $775 and tossing in the case too.

 

[bogeycentral]

Make that $750

GLWS, thats a beautiful handgun. Take it to the next gun show in your area and get probably $900+ for it.
