Dave, I thought of another way.
I was beginning to sense that approaching the guide rod problem the way we were, all we were doing was annoying you.
So I took the link off my milspec, put it on the slide lock, and took this picture.
As you can see, the head of the guide rod doesn't touch the link when the guide rod is in the frame.
It might appear to when it's in the slide, but when the slide is installed on the frame, it just doesn't happen.
As a matter of fact, I measured it, and there's more than .070" of space between the guide rod and the link.
At that point, I was stacking feeler gauges, and I don't think I could measure that big a gap accurately.
Anyway, there's a space between the head of the guide rod and the link.
A big space.
I have two questions for you:
How did you get the head of your guide rod past the ledge in the frame that stops it when the slide is installed on the frame, and why would you want to?
Thanks, Dave!
