Colt Officer's Model - Broken Barrel Bushing

[Heavyweight]

I've got a Colt Officer's Model that I purchased new way back in 1989. I was cleaning it last night and discovered that the barrel bushing is cracked. I know this was a known issue on compact 1911s and probably why most manufacturers today use a bull barrel. I got 32 years of solid use though so I'm not complaining. Does anyone have a line on Colt factory replacement parts? I've been searching high and low with no luck. I know other manufacturers make it but there is a high probability that I'll have to have it fit. I was thinking I might not have to go through that on a Colt replacement. But I guess that isn't a sure thing either. I value any feedback.

Stay safe

Here might be what you want: https://shopwilsoncombat.com/BUSHING...ductinfo/29CO/ Sorry, just noticed you want a dropin part.

For a “custom” fit bushing, measure ID of slide (at bushing) and OD of barrel (at bushing lock up) and contact EGW.
For a nominal fee they’ll make you a bushing that fits your slide/barrel. Be sure to specify for an O. M.

Thanks gaijin....that looks like my best option.

EGW (George Smith) does have simple, "drop in" replacement bushings if the pursuit of ultimate accuracy is not a concern.
