I have a 1911 pistol that came with a 2pc full length guide rod. I can take it apart okay, using an Allen key as the first step of disassembly, but when I go to assemble I find it a bit awkward. If I wait until the end to insert the rod and screw it in then the spring gets in the way internally, because it's unsupported. If I try to assemble it all on the slide while off the frame then it's even weirder and just feels wrong.
Am I missing something super easy here? My other unit has the regular half guide rod and it's much easier to install.
