1911 Colt Enhanced Barrel Fitting Fixture

Our Original 1911 Barrel Fitting Fixture was first designed and produced in 1992.
After a long run it was time for a few improvements and that is just what we have done.
Listed below are just a few of the Major improvements we have made. Please watch the YouTube
Video imbedded on this page to see how the Fixture works. If the Video is not visible
