Full size SS rod guide.
« on: December 13, 2014, 04:23:03 PM »
Hello to all.  Anyone drill their 75B in order to use a full size SS rod and spring?

Not sure if anyone has done this lately
Years back, some of the older looked into this

Thanks DenStinett.  After reading various comentaries, the drilling for a FLGR seems like a fools errand.  And would void any warranties on the new pistols.  I will still replace the plastic GR but will keep the short versions.

The CZ75 in .40 S&W has a full length guide rod. As can be seen in the picture there are modifications made to the barrel lug to enable its use. Even then the GR must be smaller on the end to allow the rod to slide past the barrel lug when inserting the spring and GR into the slide. The top barrel is a 9mm, then the .40 and the FL GR with the stepped diameter. (Which is difficult to see.)
