Sidearms & Scatterguns Taurus grip screw and bushings!!!!

[Friday]

A few years ago I was changing the grips on my PT-1911 bi tone pistol one of the bushings stripped out, I have ordered 5 different sets and every set is way to small!! Can’t get ahold of anyone at Taurus. Pisses me off, anyone know where to buy the correct size?

Throw the whole thing in the trash and buy a real 1911

Let’s get some real world answers shall we

Sorry Friday but the pirate is right.

You guys are so helpful lol I asked if anyone could find grip screws and bushings not for everyone to tell me what a pile of shit pistol I have, pistol was a gift couldn’t care less what you guys think they are, just want it complete again!!

 

[Remington_Steel]

Sorry. They are cheap buy a new one and let the original be used for parts.

 

[Friday]

Nah I’ll get it figured out

 

[Remington_Steel]

Bring it to a smith.

 

[Friday]

I’ll give another call to Taurus and if nothing I’ll take it to a smith

When did you call? During Thanksgiving weekend?

I am fairly sure that the Beretta 92 share the same frame bushings as the Taurus. Order a few from Brownells.

I have the M9A3 and the grip bushings are tiny are the 92s bigger?

I think the bushings linked above are for the Taurus Beretta clone, not a 1911. What threads are stripped out, the bushing to frame or bushing to grip screw? What's too small with the bushings you've already bought, diameter or height?

 

[Friday]

Diameter the frame holes are much bigger than normal 1911

 

[strikeeagle1]

Maybe STrike Industries. The OP seems like an odd 2013 co-incidence of topic 7 years later.

I bought some oversized bushings from brownells measured ID of hole and it is .253 I’m not sure how they measure there threads from outside or inside of threads they are claiming .255

 

[Friday]

Called Taurus again they have a hold on all shipments told me to try back in 7 to 10 business days

 

[Bigfatcock]

You need oversized bushings. Will need to retap.

I bought that set from slinks and it was wrong I was so pissed i threw them away along with the grips, but I kept the box for future sales on eBay

You gotta give it to Friday, he’s done his due diligence. If he was lazy like me he woulda took it to a smith first thing.

 

[Friday]

Lol I don’t have a whole lot of trust worthy gun smiths close to me so spending 200 bucks for 6 dollar screws doesn’t sit well with me lol

You may try Jack First gun parts.

The last time I was at my smith he fully rebuilt a gun for $100. You should check in.

I’d have to send mine out of state or at least out of the county to get that kind of deal the only gunsmith we have here charged me 1200 bucks to true a Remington action and thread the barrel and it never shot worth a piss. So I started using DMR down in Vegas, but not to comfortable shipping a pistol down there even if it’s just the frame that city has gotten real crazy since the election.
