Use when the frame threads have been stripped. Frame must be tapped with oversize threads before use. These bushings together with our Oversize Bushing Tap are the easiest and highest quality way to repair a stripped frame.

These bushings are easy to install and remove. Loctite is not necessary for installation if they are torqued to 18 in-lbs for steel and aluminum frames. Use 7/32" nut driver or socket.

These full size bushings will work with grips not less than 0.245" thick. Use our slim bushings for grips 0.185" to 0.245" thick. For still thinner grips use our extra slim bushings.

We strongly recommend using the the Challis bushing and grip screw O-rings because of the benefits they provide, such as preventing stripped threads, eliminating loose grip screws, scuffed frames and providing the most secure mounting available for the 1911. They may save your frame and you can feel the difference.

Challis has top quality product materials and workmanship coupled with all the tools and instructions needed! As a new gunsmith this made the job easier and ensured the best possible outcome. When I was unsure about what bushings to purchase customer service was quick to assist. Thank you and I will be back for the next job!

An absolute solution to striped bushings. Use with the tap and guide to fix a set of messed up bushings on a pawn shop find. Sure did save money on both side of this 1911.

I had two stripped bushings on my Ruger St1911. I had been putting off the repair for a while since I didn't want to pay a gunsmith to do the work.
I searched the web for oversized bushings and Challis Grips was the first hit. I read the reviews as well as the owners bio and decided to make the purchase. I bought the tap, jig, stainless repair bushings and the removal tool. Yes it was costly initially but worth it in the end. The repair took less than a half an hour and was straightforward. The bushing system is everything as described and more, so much so that I am going to order the 24 pack and convert my other 1911's to the Challis system. If your hesitant about purchasing these bushings don't be, they are of excellent quality and the shipping was very fast. My grips are rock solid, no movement whatsoever!
