JWBaldree Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have a 75 Omega that I wanted to add a SS full length guide rod to. Does any one know where to locate the hole for the guide rod, exactly that is? Or is the location not that critical to where I have locate the spot down to the thousandth of and inch? I don't have a drilled 75 slide to cheat off of, and my SP-01 slide front profile is different enough to be meaningless. Thanks in advance.

I haven't done it, but I imagine you could duplicate the distance from the center of your SP01 barrel to the center of the guide rod hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkadi Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I just drilled from the outside in the place that looked like the center of the lower radius - for a plastic guide rod. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWBaldree Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Broke out a good flash light and took a hard look inside the firing pin spring channel. Tooling marks were plainly visible from the drill / mill that cut the channel, including a dimple for center where the bit was bottomed out. Made for an easy reference point and was deep enough to catch a long 3/ 32 bit for a pilot hole. Came in from the front afterwards with a 15 / 64 (closest to 6mm I had). Easy / peasy.
