Accuracy systems is the only place i can find. I find them expensive for a small item. And shipping at 10.99 for under and ounce package is not right either IMO. I want to tame my mini down some. I came up with a low cost recoil bushing. Rubber washers. It has help up to a few range trips so far. Thanks Al.

Unfortunately they seem to be the only game in town right now.
Also for recoil bushings, Wilson 1911 bushings are a perfect fit and they last very well.
They are about $10 for 6

I meant to comment on this when it was first posted: the gas bushing is a very simple cylindrical part with minimal concerns about stress given the dimensions. If you know someone with a lathe, or even someone skilled with a drill press, making a replacement in a custom smaller size should be no big deal.

How well it will wear with high pressure gas is a different question, but at least you aren't buying a bushing set to experiment with.
