TMC 1911 Grip Screw Tap .150-50 | HSS Thread Repair

TMC 1911 Grip Screw Tap – .150″-50 Thread

Precision Thread Repair Tool Made in the USA

Restore damaged or worn 1911 grip bushing threads quickly and accurately with the TMC 1911 Grip Screw Tap. Designed specifically for .150″-50 TPI threads, this professional-grade tool allows you to repair grip bushings with confidence rather than replacing them. As a result, you save time while preserving original parts.

Because Thunder Mountain Customs machines this tap from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), it delivers clean cuts, excellent durability, and long service life. Therefore, it performs reliably whether you handle routine maintenance or full custom 1911 builds.

Purpose-Built for 1911 Grip Bushings

Correct .150″-50 TPI Thread Geometry

This tap matches the exact thread pitch used in standard 1911 grip screw bushings. Consequently, it restores proper engagement and alignment without damaging surrounding material.

Ideal for Repairs and Preventive Maintenance

Instead of replacing bushings, you can chase or repair threads cleanly. As a result, frames and bushings remain intact while function returns to factory standards.

Durable High Speed Steel Construction

Premium HSS for Long-Term Use

Thunder Mountain Customs uses hardened High Speed Steel to resist wear and deformation. Therefore, the tap maintains sharp cutting edges even after repeated use.

Made in the USA to Professional Standards

Because it is manufactured in the United States, this tap meets strict gunsmithing tolerances. Accordingly, professionals and enthusiasts alike can rely on consistent results.

Smooth, Controlled Cutting Performance

4-Flute Taper Starter Design

The 4-flute taper profile starts threads smoothly and centers easily. Consequently, you gain better control, cleaner cuts, and reduced risk of cross-threading.

Clean Threads with Minimal Effort

Thanks to the precise flute geometry, the tap removes material evenly. Therefore, repaired threads accept grip screws smoothly and securely.

Workshop-Ready Convenience

Protective Storage Case Included

Each tap ships with a protective case. As a result, the tool stays clean, organized, and ready whenever you need it at the bench or range.
