scffacenter1 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Just got a Taurus PT 1911 in 9mm and was going through it checking the quality and tightness/fit of some of the parts. I came to my barrel link and noticed quite a bit of side to side play in it. Pulled out my Springfield .45 and it has very little movement side to side. (that is to say if you press on the flat edges of the link) Main question is: Is this normal for a lower end 1911 and will this have any effect on accuracy. I know i need to replace my bushing, but what about this link? Edited November 21, 2011 by scffacenter1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2race Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 If the barrel is fit right, the link does nothing but pull the barrel out of lock up. If the link is used to tighten the lock up then two things happen, short link lifespan and reduced accuracy. Check the tightness of the lock up, then remove the link and recheck the lockup. If it's the same, reinstall the old link and enjoy the pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
