EGW HD 1911 Gunsmith Barrel Link (Undrilled)

FOR PROFESSIONAL GUNSMITHS ONLY

This is not a replacement part. This is an unfinished barrel link. It has only one hole (for the barrel pin). The slide stop pin hole must be located and drilled by a qualified gunsmith during a from-scratch barrel fitting.

The ultimate starting point for a true, custom-fit 1911 barrel. The EGW Heavy-Duty (HD) Gunsmith Barrel Link is intentionally left unfinished, providing a professional gunsmith with the material needed to achieve a perfect, "one-hole" accurate lockup that is simply not possible with pre-drilled links. Machined from solid tool steel with a #5 profile, this is the definitive part for a no-compromise custom build.

Looking for a Pre-Drilled Link?

If you are looking for a standard, pre-drilled replacement link, this is NOT the correct part for you. Please see our full range of numbered, pre-drilled barrel links here.

The secret to absolute accuracy is having total control over barrel fitment. Here’s why this link is the superior choice for professionals:

  • Machined from Solid Tool Steel: We CNC-machine each link from solid American tool steel and heat-treat it for exceptional strength, ensuring the finished holes will not elongate over time.

1911 Gunsmith Link FAQ

Why would a gunsmith want an undrilled link?

An undrilled link is the only way to achieve a truly perfect barrel fit. It allows the gunsmith to put the slide, frame, and barrel together, measure the exact location where the slide stop pin needs to be for a zero-movement lockup, and then drill the hole in that precise spot. This eliminates the tolerance stacking that occurs with pre-made parts and is a hallmark of a high-end, custom-built 1911.

Can I install this myself?

Absolutely not, unless you are a professional gunsmith with the proper measuring tools, jigs, and a drill press or milling machine. This part requires machining and a deep understanding of the 1911's timing and lockup. Incorrect installation will result in an unsafe and non-functional firearm.
