Hi Brian,

That quote was from your previous post advising someone about making their hi capa look like a 1911.

I want to ask whether the barrel is proprietary if I use a SD bushing (because of the outer diameter of the barrel / inner diameter of the bushing)? I'm planning to build another 1911 with the SD Kimber TLE/RL slide and from your advice above it seems like I can't use anything else other than the SD recoil spring guide, bushing and recoil spring plug.

My problem is the barrel itself because all the SD barrels are the ones that tilt right? I'm planning to run CO2 with the 1911 I'm building and I don't want to damage the SD Kimber slide with the strong blowback the gun will experience (the broken 'lug catch' on the slide that you explained about in your first post).

I've found that ProG4 makes a fixed barrel and was wondering whether it'll work with the SD bushing. I don't want it to be too small so that the barrel will wobble and if the barrel's too thick then it won't fit through the bushing at all.

Thanks again for all your previous help!:smile:
