Rex B,
The Colt Gov't .380 bushing was at least as loose as the Llama bushing was. I planned on making a new one anyway. But thanks, if it would have worked that would have saved lots of time. How loose is yours? I have another Llama .380 coming, left Mass. today, if it's bushing is loose too maybe I'll make three of them up. The cylindrical OD of mine is .561, the hole it fits into in the slide is .579 (.018 slop) the ID is .478, while the OD of the barrel is .470, (.008 slop) total slop value is therefore .026. The bushing in my Colt series 80 .45 is a Wilson combat bushing and I made it a slight push fit on the OD, there is no play at all, and that's what I'll aim for in the new bushings. The barrel has to have a bit, I'll look at the book and see what it's supposed to be for a 1911 and make it the same.
