Challis Hex Drive Bushings – Stainless – Oversize (4-Pack)

The Challis Hex Drive Bushings provides a great solution to fix stripped grip bushing threads while saving your frame.

Repair Stripped 1911 Frames Easily

Challis Hex Drive Oversize Bushings solve stripped bushing threads quickly. First, tap the frame with oversize threads. Then install the bushing. This method provides the simplest, most reliable fix for a damaged frame.

Quick and Easy Installation

Slide the bushing into the socket of a 7/32″ nut driver. Turn it into place. The socket keeps the bushing aligned, so you engage the threads accurately every time. You do not need to start the threads by hand or switch tools midway.

Strong Hex Design

Unlike slotted bushings, the hex head drives firmly without raising burrs or deforming the top. This strength allows you to seat the bushing fully and securely in the frame.

Stable Under Recoil

Apply proper torque to minimize bushing retraction under firing stress. This stability is especially important when using heavy grips like G10 or aluminum. Oversize bushings restore solid grip mounting and frame strength.

Easy Removal and Reuse

Remove the bushing easily with a 7/32″ nut driver or socket. You avoid special tools, easy-outs, and damaged frames. If needed, remove the bushing for refinishing and reinstall it without purchasing replacements.
