Where to get grip screw bushings for a 1911

I'm sure there are others but click on ARMCO at the top of this page and then goto colt parts. $10 for 4. Sometimes when the bushings are removed from the frame the frame threads are damaged and you may need oversized bushings and the frame may need to be retapped. Talk with GUNNAR he can help.
Yeah, and here's my RANT...
Guys generally wouldn't "need" to replace grip screw bushings on 1911's if other guys would over-tighten the grip screws to begin with. Can't count the number of grip screw bushings I've had to replace over the years on newly acquired 1911's where some bone-head had over tightened the grip screws.... Maroon's!

Thanks, Bearman
Yes, I always carry a stock of them, as well as the oversize ones if someone has REALLY gotten carried away... I ship by mail, take EMT and VISA
Please note that Norinco ones ARE a different, coarser thread. I don't have them, but recut to oversize Colt thread if necessary.
