Atlas 5.0″ Tool-less Guide Rod – Stainless – With Reverse Plug

Upgrade your Atlas-pattern 2011 pistol with the Atlas 5.0” Tool-less Guide Rod and Reverse Plug, a precision-machined stainless steel system built for fast maintenance and high-performance reliability. This guide rod delivers smoother cycling, easier disassembly, and a cleaner overall shooting experience. Because Atlas designed this assembly specifically for bull-barrel pistols, you get a secure fit, strong support, and improved longevity.

Fast, Tool-less Maintenance

With this design, you can strip your pistol without tools. As a result, you save time at the range, simplify cleaning routines, and reduce downtime during training. The reverse plug pairs with the tool-less guide rod to create a quick-release system that stays tight under recoil but opens effortlessly when needed.

Precision-Machined Stainless Steel Construction

Atlas machines every component from 17-4 stainless steel barstock. This material resists wear, maintains structural strength under recoil, and delivers long service life. The natural stainless finish adds a clean, professional look that complements custom 2011 builds.

Enhanced Reverse Plug Design

The reverse plug includes a front-face groove that gives you a stronger purchase during disassembly. Additionally, its geometry supports bull-barrel alignment and improves system stability. Because Atlas engineered this plug for their pistols and similarly built custom guns, it offers excellent consistency and performance.
