I bought my first 1911, a Springfield Armory.
It says on the box it's a Milspec, but it has checkered grips and front slide serrations, so I'm not really sure what model it is.
Anyway, my question is: I tried to field strip it and couldn't get the barrel out. The barrel bushing rotates over and I can remove the guide rod and spring, but I can't get the barrel out through the front of the slide the way the diagram shows.
Help!
