The secret to a perfectly fit barrel is having the right components. Here’s why this kit is the superior choice:

  • Have the Right Part on Hand: This kit provides a range of sizes to solve barrel fitting challenges, saving you time and frustration by ensuring you have the correct link for a tight, accurate lockup.
  • 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.

1911 Barrel Link FAQ

How do I know what size barrel link I need?

Choosing the correct barrel link is a critical step in a professional barrel fitting. A gunsmith will measure the distance between the barrel's lower lugs and the slide stop pin hole to determine the exact link length needed for a tight lockup without causing "barrel bump" or other timing issues. While the #3 link is considered G.I. Spec, a true custom fit requires selecting the precise link for your specific combination of parts.

Is this a drop-in part?

No. The barrel link is a crucial timing component in the 1911. Installing the wrong size link can lead to poor accuracy, damage to the firearm, and unsafe function. These parts MUST be selected and installed by a qualified 1911 gunsmith who can properly fit the barrel.
