EGW PLUNGER TUBE BOLT-ON BLUE W/ 4-40 BUTTON HEAD BOLTS

EGW Bolt-On Plunger Tube – Blued 1911 Upgrade

A Simple Solution to a Common 1911 Problem

First and foremost, the EGW bolt-on plunger tube solves one of the most frequent issues found on 1911 pistols: loose or failing plunger tubes. Normally, this repair requires a trip to the gunsmith for removal and re-staking. However, EGW changes that completely. Instead of staking, this bolt-on design lets you secure the plunger tube with screws, making the fix faster, easier, and far more reliable.

Designed for Easy DIY Installation

Rather than relying on traditional staking, EGW designed this plunger tube to bolt directly to the frame. As a result, installation only requires drilling and tapping two holes under the grip panels. After that, the included 4‑40 button head screws lock the tube firmly in place. Therefore, you can complete the repair yourself without special staking tools or advanced gunsmithing skills.

Strong, Secure, and Long-Lasting

In addition to easier installation, this plunger tube offers excellent strength. EGW machines it from high-quality carbon steel, then finishes it in a durable blue finish. Because the tube bolts to the frame, it resists loosening far better than staked tubes. Consequently, your thumb safety and slide stop remain positive and consistent over time.

Clean, Custom Appearance

Beyond function, this plunger tube also improves appearance. Unlike factory staked tubes, the bolt-on design gives your 1911 a clean, custom look. Moreover, the blued finish blends perfectly with other blued components, creating a professional and cohesive appearance.

Installation Notes

Before installation, you must inlet the grip panels to clear the screw heads. Afterward, ensure the plunger tube sits flush against the frame before tightening. With proper fitting, the tube installs securely and stays put.
