Firing Pin Stop Gauge
Our gauge features a milled slot that holds the 1911 barrel square for faster more accurate setups to cut the length and sides of the hood.
When checking for accurate lock-up, use this tool to help keep your barrel in place while you mill and fit. Slots are .362" (9.1mm) and .369" (9.3mm).
The hole in the gauge allows you place a dial indicator on the barrel to make sure that it remains in proper alignment while you check for proper lock-up.
Milled lug slot holds the barrel square in the slide for precise fitting of the hood to the bolt face slot. Provides a quick visual check for hood fit that eliminates time consuming assembly/disassembly for hood fitting. Fits between the slide rails to prevent barrel twist. Aids lockup and accuracy. May require minor fitting to slide.
