Gen 5 W74 Tungsten Guide Rod need a spacer?

I can’t seem to find a single picture of the W74 guide rod installed on a Glock Gen 5 to see if it needs a spacer/washer or not.  
 

Anyone have one or know?  
 

Thanks!

It takes a non-standard spring which the vendor says does not require an adaptor. 

But I would call them up tomorrow and ask.

Thanks!  
 

I have a message in to them but haven't heard back and figured the hive mind would know 🙂

Learned a bit from my chat with the company today:

 

The longer G34 Gen 4 guide rod is lighter and thinner than the G17 Gen 5.  The G34 Gen 4 guide rod also needs an adapter and the G17 Gen 5 is designed to not need one.  The G17 Gen 5 guide rod uses the Rune flat springs.  
 

Off to spend some money 🙂
