grywlfbg Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 All, So after a lengthy delay getting a Quinn mount installed on my CM I've finally started shooting it. I'm loving the gun. I started w/ an SP-01 in Production. I then started shooting 3-gun and ran a TS. I'm now making the jump to Open and was happy that CZ came through w/ the CM so I could keep the same ergonomics that I was used to w/ my TS. My question is around cleaning and barrel removal. Is there some secret to getting the guide rod in and out without bleeding or losing an eye? I've only done it twice and each time I just kept fussing and swearing at it until it snapped into place. I'm finding myself not doing complete cleanings because I hate that freaking guide rod to much. I can take some pictures if it'll help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euxx Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You need a staple (ones from a staple gun will work) or a piece of wire shaped like L. Take the slide out and then tilt the barrel off the slide grooves and fully compress recoil spring. In a space between compensator and slide (close to the slide) you will see a small hole on a guide rod. Put a staple in it, it will hold the recoil spring compressed. After that you can take the guide rod assembly out of the slide and unscrew compensator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grywlfbg Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 You need a staple (ones from a staple gun will work) or a piece of wire shaped like L. You sir are a genius. Thank you! I knew there had to be a better way. Worked like a charm. Now I don't have to wear safety glasses when I clean my gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonJeong Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 How do I know which barrel is the one for 9 major with comp? Seems like one can take a slightly longer oal bullet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Gator Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 My CM came with three barrels....serial numbered xxxx, xxxxA, and xxxxB. No difference in the barrels...just "spares." A-G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my00wrx1 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Have either of you guys noticed that if you screw the comp up tight it is off centre i.e. the guide rod won't line up with the locating hole in the comp. I have to back mine off a little to line it up and while it works fine it bothers me a little that the comp is not done up tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Gator Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I can push the comp about ten to fifteen degrees past vertical...but can't see light between the comp and slide. Never been a problem...functioning or esthetically. A-G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
