Full Length Guide Rods are, like Colonel Jeff said about DA autos, "an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem".

They showed up what - in the 70s? The 80s? Gun'd been around for 60 years or more. Fought in four wars. And SUDDENLY it was discovered that to be reliable it needed that thing.

All it does is make disassembly a pain in the butt. You'll be much happier if you replace it.

But, then, you either have to change the plug, or put up with a hole in the end of your gun.
