If the chamber did sit properly and you could get the bushing down far enough to engage it's lock channel, tell me how the slide is going to cycle if the barrel can't even poke through the bushing?


Are you using the SD 1911 barrel? Or the SD Hi-Capa straight barrel?

If you must stick with these parts, the best solution is to ream out the bushing.
Yes, I realized that.

I'm using the SD Hi-capa straight barrel. The nova bushing is specifically made for the nova barrel that's all. I found that the stock MEU bushing works, though its fit is almost too perfect.

While I had everything disassembled I couldn't find a way to make the firefly hop up rubber to fit like the stock one does. Its longer and wider so when its compressed the circular opening gets deformed. It looks like the hop-up rubber had swelled like ILLusion had said in the other thread. I have never put silicon oil on it, its probably been soaked indirectly somehow.
