So in cleaning my gun, I've been looking at the stock guide rod. I can't tell what it's made of, but it looks like thin metal with a cap welded on the end.
I started researching on the internet and apparently there's enough other people who wanted something "beefier" that there's an aftermarket now.
Found this website that has solid replacements, and even offers different weight springs for the various models:
SPRINGFIELD XD RECOIL GUIDE ROD & SPRINGS at Brownells
Here's a pic of the stock two-piece guide rod and sping:
And the aftermarket one-piece unit:
Anyone seen this before? Anyone have this in their gun?
