EGW Barrel Bushing Drop-in Bevel Flange CDR Angle Bore SS

EGW 1911 Barrel Bushing – Drop‑In Bevel Flange – Commander – Stainless Steel

A well‑designed barrel bushing directly influences accuracy, and therefore, the EGW 1911 Barrel Bushing for Commander‑length pistols provides a dependable way to tighten slide‑to‑barrel fit and improve overall performance. EGW fully machines this bushing from stainless steel and heat treats it for long service life. As a result, it delivers enhanced consistency, smoother lock‑up, and reliable accuracy shot after shot. Although this component installs as a drop‑in upgrade in many pistols, minor fitting can further refine lock‑up depending on individual slide and barrel tolerances.

Precision‑Machined for Improved Accuracy

To achieve consistent alignment, this bushing uses a .699″ outer diameter and a .580″ inner diameter. Consequently, it provides a snug and stable interface when paired with properly sized Commander‑length slides and barrels. In addition, EGW machines the bore with a precision angle‑bore cut. Because of this design, the bushing centers the barrel more consistently during lock‑up, which helps the pistol return to the same position every cycle. Over time, this repeatability translates into improved accuracy and tighter group sizes.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

EGW machines each bushing from heat‑treated stainless steel, which resists corrosion, wear, and long‑term deformation. Furthermore, stainless steel maintains its dimensions under heavy use, ensuring the bushing continues to perform even after high round counts. The .125″ flange thickness adds strength at the muzzle, while also supporting the recoil spring plug during firing and disassembly. As a result, the bushing contributes to both accuracy and structural stability.

Commander‑Length Drop‑In Convenience

This bushing is designed specifically for Commander‑length 1911 pistols, making it a popular choice for shooters seeking improved performance without extensive gunsmith work. In many cases, the part installs without modification. However, because slide and barrel tolerances vary, slight fitting may still improve lock‑up and cycling. Even so, most shooters appreciate the straightforward installation process and the immediate improvement in slide‑to‑barrel consistency.

Key Specifications

This bushing is machined from stainless steel and features a natural stainless finish. It is designed for Commander‑length 1911 pistols and includes a .125″ flange thickness. The slide inside diameter fit measures .699″, while the barrel outside diameter fit measures .580″. Additionally, the angle‑bored interior promotes tighter and more consistent lock‑up.

Why Upgrade Your 1911 Barrel Bushing?

A properly fitted barrel bushing plays a major role in enhancing accuracy, reliability, and overall shooting feel. With improved alignment, the barrel locks up more consistently from shot to shot. Consequently, groups tighten, recoil feels smoother, and the pistol behaves more predictably during rapid strings of fire. For shooters looking to refine performance without altering the core design of their Commander‑length 1911, this EGW barrel bushing offers a proven and effective upgrade.
