Which Barrel Bushing Wrench to Buy?

[doc540]

Just got my Colt CCO and it has a solid guide rod with a hollow cap below the bushing.

Which wrench works best for this application?

thanks

Check out 1911ultratool.com there you will find a new type of break down tool that make the chore much easier, there are video's on the web site showing how it works. I am ordering one for my New Agent !

Can't tell which one fits the CCO.

I just hauled off and called Clark's and ordered two of the poly wrenches.

I've read they tear up pretty quickly.

Any 1911 bushing wrench should work, it is just a commander slide on a officer frame. You should be able to just push the plug by hand and turn the bushing without a tool, however if it is tight, and you need a tool, I like the scratch proof nylon wrench.

Doc, this is the one I bought and use when needed. It's got a couple of nicks, but won't scratch any thing either. And the color makes it easy for my aging eyes to locate it on by messy work bench.

Educate me....the original wrench from my '78 Gold Cup box wouldn't fit the CCO bushing.

I guess it's been modified with the solid guide rod and hollow spring cap.

broknaxl, I think that's the one Clark is sending...it's poly of some sort.

thnx
