EGW 1911 Steel Feed Ramp Insert (38/9mm/40)

PROFESSIONAL GUNSMITH INSTALLATION REQUIRED

This is not a drop-in part. Installation of this feed ramp insert requires permanently modifying and machining the firearm's frame. This work must be performed by a qualified and experienced 1911 gunsmith.

The definitive, permanent solution for repairing and perfecting any 1911 frame, whether steel or aluminum, chambered in smaller calibers. The EGW Steel Feed Ramp Insert is designed to replace a damaged, worn, or incorrectly angled integral feed ramp. By installing this hardened steel insert, you create a durable, reliable, and perfectly angled ramp that ensures flawless feeding and can restore a frame that might otherwise be scrap.

Firearm Compatibility

This Feed Ramp Insert is for:

  • 1911 Pistols with Aluminum or Steel Frames
  • Calibers: 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, 10mm

The EGW Solution for Damaged or Worn Frames

The secret to a long-lasting, reliable 1911 is a perfect feed ramp. Here’s why our steel insert is the superior choice for repair and protection:

  • Permanently Repairs Damaged Feed Ramps: The perfect fix for a ramp that is worn, pitted, or has an incorrect factory angle on both steel and aluminum frames.
  • Protects Aluminum Frames: On alloy frames, this hardened steel insert completely prevents the frame from being gouged by aggressive hollow-point ammunition, a common failure point.
  • Ensures Reliable Feeding: The insert is machined with the proper feed ramp angle for smaller calibers like 9mm and .38 Super, providing a smooth, consistent path for the cartridge and improving overall feeding reliability.
  • Proudly Made in the USA: Every component is manufactured in our Quakertown, PA facility, and includes detailed instructions for your gunsmith.

Feed Ramp Insert FAQ

Why would a 1911 frame need this part?

There are two primary reasons. For aluminum frames, the softer alloy material can be gouged by modern hollow-point ammunition, causing malfunctions. This steel insert prevents that damage. For both steel and aluminum frames, this insert is used to repair a feed ramp that is already damaged, pitted, or was machined with an incorrect angle from the factory, restoring the frame and ensuring reliable feeding.

Can I install this myself?

No. This is one of the most advanced 1911 modifications. It requires a milling machine to cut a precise pocket in the frame for the insert to be installed. This is absolutely not a home-gunsmithing part and must be performed by a professional with the correct tools and experience.
