1911 Slide & Recoil Lug Flexible Hone – 800 Grit Solid Shaft

TMC 1911 Slide & Recoil Lug Flexible Hone – 800 Grit

Improve Your 1911 Action with Precision Honing

The TMC 1911 Slide & Recoil Lug Flexible Hone is designed to dramatically improve the performance and smoothness of your 1911. By honing the barrel tunnel and the recoil lug area, this tool removes machining ridges left during barrel and locking lug production. As a result, your barrel moves freely, your slide cycles smoothly, and you reduce scoring on the barrel hood.

Unlike standard flexible brushes, TMC’s solid shaft design provides unmatched control. Flexible brushes that rely on twisted wire shafts tend to flex excessively, especially when the brush exceeds five inches in length. This lack of rigidity can make precise honing difficult and inconsistent. In contrast, our solid shaft eliminates unwanted flex, giving you a consistent and predictable finish every time.

Solid Shaft Design for Maximum Control

• Solid shaft construction eliminates flex found in traditional brushes

• Nylon filaments with embedded abrasive globules provide consistent material removal

• Designed to allow precise honing of the locking lug area for a smooth, friction-free fit

Superior Abrasive for a Fine Finish

This 800-grit hone uses silicon carbide abrasive, ideal for finely removing ridges and creating an ultra-smooth surface. The flexible filaments conform to the contour of the barrel tunnel and locking lugs, ensuring complete coverage without gouging or scratching your 1911 components.

Recommended Use & Maintenance

• Honing Oil: Always use a quality honing oil, like TMC’s specially formulated honing oil, to lubricate the brush and enhance performance

• Length & Fit: Overall length of 8″, hone length 2.5″, hone diameter 0.709″, shaft diameter 0.236″

• Compatibility: Works with all standard 1911 barrels and frames

By following these guidelines, you can achieve a professional-level finish, reduce friction, and ensure smooth, reliable cycling of your 1911 pistol.
