*If you choose a .568" bore you will not be able to have it in an angle bore*
EGW’s Melt bushing is machined from solid barstock steel. Melt Bushings offer a unique look to the front of your 1911. Melt Bushings require a two piece guide rod set-up to disassemble your gun. The spring will need to be taken out of the back as well. The flange on the melt bushing is too large to allow a spring plug to pull out from the front.
Available in Blue and Stainless Steel.
Gunsmith Fit is available in all O.D.’s with a .568” I.D. Straight Bore; O.D. of the bushing = Inside diameter of your slide - usually .699” - .705”; I.D. of the bushing = Outside diameter of your barrel - usually .575” - .583”. Please measure these two areas with calipers to find the sizes you need. Please select your options carefully. Please provide exact measurements, as our machinist will allow for clearance. Check out our FAQ Section for instructions on how to accurately take these measurements.
Angle Bore is bored on an angle or a snug fit (measurements must be precise); Straight Bore is bored straight without variation.
Please allow 3 weeks for custom bored bushings. When choosing a spring plug, choose the EGW Long Nose Spring Plug for a flush fit!
