fieryotaku Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I have a Hext tac 5.0 I am converting to a Bar Sto bull threaded barrel I am going to need a new guide rod and thought about just getting the tool less rod as it would save me from having to remember paperclips. Will it just drop right in or do I need a different plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) New plug needed so that it has a way to stay in place without the bushing retaining it... May be able to use same actual guide rod. Edited September 20, 2019 by wgj3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) To use a bull barrel requires your slide to have a reverse plug cut. Some manufacturers do that automatically, even if the slide is fitted with a bushing barrel. Take your spring tunnel plug and push it back towards the rear of the slide. If you can push it all the out to the rear, you have a reverse cut. If not, you'll need a trip to a gunsmith.

I remove my guide rod and plug from the rear by pushing it back does that mean it is cut right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
