RAZZ Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 OK, so I'm a dumbass. I picked up a Wolff gude rod and some ISMI springs. I guess I should have asked, and I feel kinda stupid now, but the freaking ISMI springs don't fit on a Woff rod. I'm impatient and thinking about chucking it up in a lathe...

JBP55 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Just order some Wolff springs and mail the ISMI springs to me, as they fit the Jager guide rods that I use. Edited September 2, 2010 by JBP55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel bad, I just did the same thing. I ended up putting the ISMI spring on my factory guide rod in my 35 and when I order the correct wolf spring, I'll use in my comped 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBA2 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 yep. throw the ISMI on the factory rod or order a jager. then just wait for the wolff spring to hit your mailbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 I wasn't aware you could do that...The retention cap is just pressed in? Just pull it out and roll? Thanks. You have let me step away from the heavy equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBA2 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 yeah the end cap is just pressed in on the factory rod. I drilled a 3/8" hole in my reloading bench and I then press the rod up through the bottom and as the underside of bench stops the spring lock the top of rod just below cap with locking pliers and pull the cap then replace. by the way my pliers have rubber protectors to keep the teeth from digging into plastic.
