Title: Recoil spring guide rod flaking
Post by: bugeyez on March 05, 2009, 01:42:00 AM

The guide rod is flaking what looks like plating off @ the breech end. Anybody else have this problem & is it normal?

If you're referring to the full length guide rod found in the 40S&W version of the 75B, then yes, it's pretty common. See this thread (http://www.czforumsite.info/index.php?topic=21303.0) too.

Thanks! I found that thread after I did a search. Strange that they would plate the rod. I'm concerned about the flakes getting into the slide. I took a wire wheel to it & a little came off. Will keep an eye on it.
