EGW 2-pc Tungsten 5" Guide Rod STI

This product fits:
5" 1911s

This guide rod kit will work with bushing guns and bull barrel guns (bull barrel guns will require a separate reverse plug).

For bushing guns a 2pc guide rod is recommended. 2pc guide rods are slightly longer and will match up with the
face of the bushing.

Since bull barrels do not utilize a bushing, we recommend using the 1pc guide. 1pc guide rods are slightly shorter and will fit flush with the barrel.

EGW standard SS spring plug is included.

This kit does not include recoil springs, but they can be purchased separately.

The head of the guide rod has smooth beveled edges to make for a seamless look.

This tungsten guide rod should be checked by a gunsmith familiar with the 1911 design. It may require minor fitting to contact the frame evenly. Failure to do so may lead to premature wear and/or breakage which will not be covered under warranty.

Our STI Guide rods are made specifically for STI models as the button on the end of the guide rod is smaller in diameter than a standard guide rod.

It is necessary to remove the front half of the guide rod to disassemble the gun.

Check for fit in 3 areas:
(1) Barrel feet should not contact head
(2) Where guide rod rests against frame
(3) Back surface of slide/dustcover is flat and even.
