And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
the 70 series model is better by far. have a old gold cup trophy model that I love. had it worked over by a good smith. he called me the next day and asked what in the hell I have bein shooting thru it. he then replaced all the springs and tighten it up a bit. after he found out I was not shooting target wad cutter thru it. but if I do my part, it will put them real tight on target every time. also check out rock island 1911's. I have found them better than most Kimbers I tried out.
The barrel bushing has been replaced because the spring steel portion of it that centers the barrel wore out over time and use. I bought a new Series 80 in 1985. Still shooting it. Barrel bushing wore out and was replaced years ago. -Snakepit
