2 Piece Guide Rod Came Apart ?

[DWG007]

Hi all,

After a practice session of around 200 rounds, I noticed about 1/2 inch of the end of my tungsten guide rod sticking out from my long dust cover SVI frame (5" barrel). Upon dissassembly, I found that the guide rod had separated. It does not appear to thread back together (tried a vice and pliers already).

How should I fix this? Never had a 2 piece rod before.

Thanks!

Same thing happened to me this week! New 2 piece tungston guide rod broke apart after about 1000 rounds.
