I bought a used SA Mil-Spec here last year sometime. The barrel bushing is different than any I've seen before and I was wondering if it's any good or not. Basically, was it an upgrade or a downgrade? My camera stinks at closeups but I think you'll see what it's deal is before your head starts hurting from the blurriness.
I would think it's a good thing since it has basically zero clearance but then again, I've been wrong before. A lot.
The reason I'm wondering brings up my second question. When I rack the slide it's not very slick or smooth. I'm a little OCD about that (read: obsessed about that) and I'm thinking that the barrel bushing is part of the culprit. The barrel isn't super smooth on the outside so the bushing is dragging a little causing some of the gritiness.
But when I hand cycle the slide without the barrel or bushing installed, it's still not great. Is there a semi-easy and cheap way to make the slide action smoother? I don't want to just try things without some recommendations from you guys first.
I tried to find an answer by searching and couldn't come up with anything. Maybe I was trying the wrong terms. I also didn't find anything in the mega-sticky either. Maybe I overlooked it. If either of those is the case, please forgive me after you paste a link in here for me.
Thanks a million in advance for any help.
