Howdy folks,
It is not secret I "dumped" my kimber last month and got a DW PMA. Far superior 1911 IMHO but that is for another thread. Here is my only dislike...
It came with a two piece guide rod that you have to take apart to disassemble the pistol. The guide rod is so long that your can not turn the barrel bushing without removing the first half of the rod with an allen wrench. I hate that!
How tough would it be to replace it with a one piece that allows you to depress the rod bushing and then turn the barrel bushing?
My goal is to be able to field strip the piece with out tools once I break in the barrel bushing.
If I swap out the two piece guide rod with a one piece, do I need to get a new rod bushing as well?
Are there accuracy/functionality advantages to the long two peice design?
Questions, comments, or suggestions?
