Remington 1911R1 Guide Rod - RIA?

SPCHardin · Dec 11, 2018

I need a new guide rod for my Remington 1911 R1, "someone" must have misplaced it after its last cleaning :banghead:

. I have heard a lot about some (or most) of RIA parts being interchangeable with other 1911's, but I am not sure about the guide rod. It is a full size if that makes any difference.

Whataya think?

Research the 'GI' rod as a replacement for the full length.

A 1911 guide rod is a 1911 guide rod is a 1911 guide rod. You need either a regular or a full length guide rod. Stick with whichever was lost and you won't have a problem.

Not exactly true. Commander sized and smaller 1911s require shorter guide rods. Guide rods for flat wire recoil springs are smaller in diameter.

If you fit the GI rod. You won't need a barrel wrench.
