pevadijk Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 What kind of replacement guide rods do you use in your Gen4's? I currently use a Jager Gen4 rod (with a 13 pound ISMI), because I think a Gen3 rod with an adapter fits a bit wobbly in the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLoin Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I do the same exact thing you do for the same reasons, except I use the 13 pound ISMI only for Minor loads, and a 15 pound ISMI for Major loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAB81 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm also running a Jager Polymer GEN 4 guide rod with a 13# ISMI spring in my GEN 4 G17 Production Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlgentlegiant Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Glockworx/Zev extended SS guiderod with 15lb ISMI spring in my Gen 4 35 using the Zev Gen 3 adapter. I have not had a single problem with the setup itself. I did have a Glockstore SS captured Gen4 guiderod come apart on me so I will be sticking with a 1 piece guiderod.

rjstubbl Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I tried running the lone wolf stainless guiderod with their adapter but I still have ejection issues with it. I was using a stock spring weight, so maybe it is too heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLoin Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 If you're running Minor loads, you need to use a weaker spring. I tried running the lone wolf stainless guiderod with their adapter but I still have ejection issues with it. I was using a stock spring weight, so maybe it is too heavy?

doc88 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 A1 on the Jager polymer Gen 4 guide rod and ISIMI spring combo. Not a hiccup in 4000 rounds of my 130 PF reloads in my Gen4 G17. Jager also gives very prompt service. You won't be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbpt1911 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) I recently puchased my Glock 34 Gen 4. Bought the Glockworxs tungsten extended guide rod with the gen 4 guide rod adapter ring. I emailed Glockworx with my concern that the head of the their guide rod is a smaller diameter than that of the factory Gen 4 guide rod. it would fall off the cutout in the barrel lug and fall into the lower cutout out. I received a reply that it's fine and that Glockworxs did extensive testing - and they didn't have any issues. - I would be nice if they offered a larger diameter replacement head. I think I will order the jager Gen 4 guide rod. Edited June 15, 2012 by sbpt1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using a stock spring weight, so maybe it is too heavy? They must have changed something, because I tried using a LWD SS guiderod (for ISMI springs) with a LWD GEN 4 adapter ring, and it no worky. The OD of the guiderod was too big to pass through the adapter they sent me. This was about a year or so ago. I just assumed that the adapters were only designed for the factory polymer RSA's. .

ChiefG Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 1000 plus rounds with LWD stainless rod with adapter ..no issues. Bought it last March. using 13 lb ISMI spring 2 coils cut. I tuned my spring with my 130 PF loads. GEN4 GLOCK 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pevadijk Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I also ordered a Glockmeister Gen4 rod and EFK Fire Dragon also seems to make a Gen4 specific guiderod. The Jager rod is very easy to take apart and it seems like the Glockmeister rod has a screwed on cap, that's not very easy to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefG Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 it seems like the Glockmeister rod has a screwed on cap, that's not very easy to remove. that's the reason why I sold mine, they (Glockmeister) said it can be removed but no slot or allen head like the LWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
