1911 Thread-in Barrel Bushings

Hello, i just purchased a threaded slide here on gunbroker for a pretty good deal, and i was wondering if anybody knew someone who provides barrel bushings that are threaded into the slide. They are rare but i have heard of several of them. From what i've heard the majority of the threaded slide guns are fairly accurate, but this is not terribly important to me as the slide is not even cut for sights and i don't plan on putting any on it for now. Anyway, if nobody has any leads i can get my friends at one of the local shops to whip some up from some hard stainless when i can take dimensions.
Thanks in advance

I don't know where else they might be available.
I wrote to Austin back in the early 70's regarding some work I wanted to do on a High Standard Victor. Like the man said, it was all snail mail back then but I still have Mr. B's handwritten response, quite detailed, including hand drawn diagrams and couple of color photos he included just to show me some of his work on a 39.
I'll remember him as a great gunsmith, and a damn good man!
