obsessiveshooter Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 it's simple to take apart (detailed in Canik forum.com )...... Canik uses a thread locker on the nose of the recoil rod...use vice grip pliers, to push spring down so you don't over-heat it. on flat surface or bench vise , lock pliers to guide rod, heat cap and remove it, , . Use the Glock in battery test for slide lock-up test..... I've said I think a Glock 14# recoil spring would be perfect but none available that I know of. The Glock gen 3 13# recoil setup with gen 4 adaptor sleeve would not always return to full lock up for me..... I used a bench grinder to remove 3 or 4 coils (SEE glock battery reset test)I know you posted the above a while ago, but I want to make sure I'm clear on something. If you take apart the stock Canik guide rod assembly, you can use what brand Glock Springs on the factory guide rod?Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 When I had a Canik, I took the factory rod apart and tried aftermarket Glock recoil springs. The factory rod’s diameter was too large to use Glock springs. I ended up using an uncaptured Glock guide rod so I could use readily available Glock springs.

I have 2 of them. 1 in my practice gun and 1 in my match gun. You use commander 1911 springs. I have about 5,000 rounds on my practice gun since installed with no problems.

Sometimes you have to bend the tail of the spring out slightly so it fits a bit better. 1911 guide rod is an almost perfect fit for the slide.

The coiled end will scratch the heck out of the rod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tungsten guide rod makes a nice improvement to the Canik.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
