EGW Hood Length Gauge – Accurate 1911 Barrel Tool

EGW Hood Length Gauge

Quickly and Accurately Measure Barrel Hood Length

Precision Tool for 1911 Barrels

The EGW Hood Length Gauge allows shooters, gunsmiths, and 1911 enthusiasts to quickly and reliably gauge barrel hood length. Consequently, it ensures proper barrel-to-slide fit and alignment, reducing potential errors during assembly or maintenance. Furthermore, by using this gauge, you can streamline your workflow and avoid guesswork, saving valuable time in both professional and hobby builds.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Use

Crafted from high-quality carbon steel and heat-treated to 55 RC, this gauge delivers long-lasting strength and durability. Moreover, the blued finish adds corrosion resistance and protects the surface from wear while providing a professional, polished look. Because of these features, the gauge withstands repeated use without sacrificing accuracy, ensuring consistent results over many years.

Multiple Measurements for Maximum Versatility

This gauge includes four precise measurements: 1.313″, 1.315″, 1.318″, and 1.321″. As a result, it accommodates a wide range of barrel hoods, from Government to Commander 1911 frames. By offering multiple reference points, it allows you to identify slight variations in hood length quickly, ensuring smoother slide fit and consistent pistol performance. Additionally, these measurements are clearly marked, which enhances efficiency and reduces setup time during gunsmithing tasks.

Easy and Efficient Workflow

Because the EGW Hood Length Gauge is compact and simple to use, it integrates seamlessly into your existing toolset. You can place it directly against the barrel hood, take your reading, and immediately verify tolerances. Furthermore, its durable build and precise measurements allow you to repeat this process multiple times without concern for accuracy degradation.

Why Choose the EGW Hood Length Gauge?

By combining hardened carbon steel, exact measurements, and a durable blued finish, the EGW Hood Length Gauge provides unmatched reliability for 1911 enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths alike. Consequently, it enhances precision, improves assembly confidence, and supports consistent, high-quality results in every build.
