    Grip Screw Bushing

    I have a 1911 that I need to replace the grip screw bushings. The threads in the receiver need redone. Does anyone know the tap size? Regards- Jim

    Check the brownell's catalog or website. They have the taps, replacement bushings and anything else you need. I used one of their taps for this
    purpose and it was smooth as silk.
