Please Note: All guide rod kits come pre-installed with a recoil spring selected by our team as the recommended weight for this application. For liability and safety reasons, we do not swap or substitute springs included in these kits. If you prefer a different spring weight than the one provided, it must be purchased separately. Our quarter inch guide rod kit allows the use of a flat wire recoil spring on a full length gun.The provided spring plug is for a thick flange and carry bevel bushing.The flat wire spring is an upgrade over the standard round wire spring because it is more durable and will last longer.This kit comes with all items pictured:5 inch quarter guide rod20lb recoil springLong-nose spring plug with a .257 hole bored in the centerAll kits are drop-in. In independent testing, ISMI spring have endured in excess of 100,000 compression cycles. We don’t recommend going that long between changes however. With an ISMI spring, practice routine maintenance and change it once a year.

“Excellent fit and the operation. The fit is tight and it seems to have tightened up the entire fit. I definitely recommend this.”

“I've installed this kit in a Colt SS Competition Series and Kimber Rapide. There is a well perceived smoothness, not only in shooting but even in racking the slide. Many folks complain about the supposed extra effort to take them down for cleaning but I dont find them an inconvenience at all. I will be ordering more of these.”

“I can recommend EGW parts and also EGW workers! I ordered parts as close to a Government Model 1911 as I could find. When I received those parts, I watched several YouTube videos to ensure I understood how to install them correctly. Unfortunately, I have a Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match, which has a slight, but significant, difference in the rear of the dust shield on the slide. The parts didn't work as the videos showed. I wrote back to EGW by email, kind of complaining about the difference in the parts from the video. Al answered me the next day, and, after a couple of email exchanges, he advised me of the best way to install the parts. It was against what the video said, but I followed the last instructions, and voila! perfect operation, and I am most happy! Yes, I recommend EGW parts for anybody looking to upgrade their weapons! And, kudos to Al, for going above and beyond to help a fellow shooter...”
