Xavier or Tam. Either ought to know.

I've never touched one.

At some point, many people exceed their ability and send a gunsmith a "bag of gun". ;)

Is it possible to "de-series-70" the front end of one of these damn things? I wouldn't mind installing a regular bushing and barrel...

What is different about the series 70?  I thought those were standard and the series 80 had the Swartz safety.

FWIW, here is a good source that I've used for reassembly: http://www.m1911.org/ReassemblyAnimation.htm

And for all things 1911: http://forum.m1911.org/

G98, thanks.  I thought the collet bushing was a flash-in-the-pan.  I'll never stop learning about guns in general, and the 1911 in particular.
