RIIID Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 When you just can't wait for Springfield and when you have a 6" barrel just laying around, that's perfection calling. I took the shop gun done in red and did a little machining here and there and a lot of patience. I got the barrel to fit into that skinny slide. A crown and some polishing and it was time to test fire. So far the test rounds are feeling good, I need to work up a major load in a short length and do some accuracy testing. When I find some more time I'll get one of my mag wells fitted and one of the super heavy weight tungsten rods made(5+ ounces). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Nukem Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Is this a 5.25 specific rod? I have the 4.1 but now I'm jealous. super heavy weight tungsten rods made(5+ ounces). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcobean Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Nice! I hope Springfield hurries up with the factory version. BTW, can you do Yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWteam12 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Where can you get a 5oz. guide rod?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 The Canyon Creek XD Tactical 45 acp guide rod will fit in with a mod to the lower lug on the barrel, that rod is 4.7 ounces. I was thinking of doing a two piece rod with a full diameter on the end and slightly longer than the than the tac. acp rod. That should make 5 ounces easy, but after fitting the Tac. rod I decided to skip the extra end piece. I will have more rods made and in stock by the end of the week hopefully.
