This is a "Dave" question - but I think all you need is the GI guide rod and a new recoil spring plug. I'd get good quality SS parts from Brown or Wilson. I don't think you'll need to muck around with the barrel bushing.

Yes, IMHO because they are cheap, and why not replace so he doesn't have to do it so he won't have to do it later on????????

Good point. And if you go with Wolff springs, they throw in a free firing pin spring.

Jim, good luck with that, I had a Pro Carry II with the same system. Couldn't get a USGI Guide-rod to work with that Bull Barrel, no room.
