EGW Blued Stake-On Plunger Tube – Secure Fit for 1911 Pistol

EGW Plunger Tube – Stake-On Blued Steel

Secure, Durable Control for Your 1911

The EGW Stake-On Blued Plunger Tube delivers strength, precision, and long-term reliability for serious 1911 builds. Because the plunger tube controls both the thumb safety and slide stop, it must stay tight and aligned at all times. For that reason, EGW machines this tube to exact standards and finishes it in a durable blued coating that matches classic 1911 builds.

Precision Machined for a Solid Fit

EGW machines this plunger tube from high-quality steel to ensure proper alignment and consistent engagement. As a result, the tube mounts flush against the frame and provides smooth, predictable operation of the safety and slide stop. In addition, the staking legs offer enough material for a strong mechanical lock when installed correctly.

Designed for Proper Staking Installation

For best results, EGW recommends opening a small .030″ relief inside the plunger tube holes. This step allows the staking legs to expand fully and lock into the frame. Next, you should test-fit the tube to confirm a flush mount before final installation.

During installation, apply Red Loctite 271 along with primer on each pin to add chemical retention. Then, using a proper staking tool such as the EGW Delrin Plunger Tube Staking Tool, secure the tube firmly without damaging the frame. With careful setup, you achieve a rock-solid installation that stays put under hard use.

Ideal for Duty, Competition, and Custom Builds

Because this plunger tube combines strength, precise machining, and a traditional blued finish, it works perfectly for duty pistols, competition guns, and classic custom 1911 builds. Moreover, its robust design helps prevent loosening, rotation, or failure over time.
