The EGW Solution for Your Custom 1911

The secret to a "one-hole" accurate 1911 is a perfectly fit barrel. Here’s why our barrel link is the superior choice:

• ✔ Achieve a Perfect Lockup: By selecting the correct link size, a gunsmith can ensure the barrel locks up tightly in the slide, which is the foundation of 1911 accuracy.
• ✔ Machined from 4140 Chromoly Steel: We CNC-machine each link from heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel for exceptional strength and wear resistance, preventing the link hole from elongating over time.
• ✔ Unmatched Machining Process: Each link undergoes an intensive in-house process—spotting, drilling, reaming, chamfering, and engraving—on our CNC machines to guarantee precision and consistency.
• ✔ Proudly Made in the USA: Every component is manufactured in our Quakertown, PA facility, guaranteeing the highest level of quality control.
