The guide rod in my .40 TS is pretty beat up (the end that goes against the barrel) after only a few hundred rounds. I suspect I put the buffer on backwards, but I'm not sure if this could have caused it, or if its normal that it looks like this? I know that the guide rod on my 9mm TS does not show the same issue.
Anyone seen anything similar? I'll try to post a pic when I get home, to make it clearer.
