TMC Government Match Drop‑In 1911 Barrel Bushing – Blued
Accuracy depends on consistent lockup, and therefore, the right barrel bushing can dramatically improve performance. The TMC Government Match Drop‑In 1911 Barrel Bushing – Blued delivers near custom‑fit accuracy while preserving the simplicity of a drop‑in design. Engineered specifically for premium match replacement barrels, this bushing tightens barrel‑to‑slide lockup without the cost or time required for a fully oversized, hand‑fitted bushing.
Unlike loose factory bushings that allow excess barrel movement, this National Match drop‑in design reduces play and stabilizes the muzzle. As a result, shooters gain improved consistency, tighter groups, and enhanced mechanical accuracy shot after shot.
Precision Dimensions Optimized for Match Barrels
TMC machines this drop‑in bushing to precise National Match dimensions to ensure compatibility with high‑quality match barrels. The outside diameter measures .700″–.701″, while the inside diameter measures .581″–.582″. Because of these carefully controlled tolerances, the bushing pairs exceptionally well with premium barrels from manufacturers such as Kart, Wilson Combat, KKM Precision, Bar‑Sto, and Nowlin.
During testing with a Kart barrel, this bushing delivered barrel‑to‑bushing fit comparable to a custom‑fitted oversized National Match bushing. Consequently, shooters achieve excellent accuracy without the added time and expense of full custom fitting.
Built for Accuracy Without Guesswork
By balancing tight tolerances with drop‑in convenience, this bushing improves performance without complicating installation. It enhances barrel alignment, reduces muzzle movement, and promotes consistent lockup. Therefore, shooters experience smaller group sizes, improved repeatability, and confidence that the pistol locks up the same way on every cycle.
Ordnance Carbon Steel Construction with Blued Finish
TMC machines each bushing from high‑strength ordnance carbon steel to ensure durability and long service life. In addition, the blued finish adds corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Because of this construction, the bushing performs reliably under high round counts, competitive use, and demanding shooting conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
This National Match drop‑in barrel bushing delivers tight barrel‑to‑slide lockup while maintaining drop‑in convenience. It features precision National Match dimensions optimized for premium barrels, durable ordnance carbon steel construction, and a protective blued finish. Together, these elements improve mechanical accuracy, enhance consistency, and support long‑term reliability in Government‑length 1911 pistols.
Compatibility
This barrel bushing fits Government‑length 1911 pistols and works best with match‑grade replacement barrels. It supports both custom and competition builds that demand improved accuracy. However, it does not fit Commander or Officer‑length models.
Installation Note – Minor Fitting May Be Required
Although this bushing installs as a drop‑in upgrade, minor gunsmith fitting may still be necessary depending on slide and barrel tolerances. Proper fitting ensures maximum lockup, smooth cycling, safe operation, and optimal accuracy. Therefore, professional inspection remains recommended for best results.
Ideal Applications
This bushing works exceptionally well for National Match 1911 upgrades, competition pistols, high‑accuracy duty pistols, custom Government‑length builds, and barrel replacement projects where improved accuracy matters.
Summary
The TMC Government Match Drop‑In 1911 Barrel Bushing – Blued delivers custom‑level accuracy with drop‑in convenience. It provides tight barrel control, proven compatibility with top match barrels, durable ordnance steel construction, and reliable performance under high round counts.
