I've got an older Kimber - purchased in 2001. Not a Clackamas but a nice gun just the same Over the years I added Novak night sights and nicer grips but essentially it's stock, so it's got the full-length guide rod.
I'm interested in experimenting with a GI-style guide rod and spring plug, mostly for ease of disassembly, and I have some questions.
1. How much accuracy will I be sacrificing, if any? Right now it shoots better than I do - I don't claim to be great but I'm used to shooting one 4-5" hole at 10 yards with several mags of FMJ.
2. What recommendations does THR have for a DROP-IN rod and plug set? I don't want to involve a gunsmith, but I also don't want to have a gun that rattles when I'm done installing the parts.
Any help appreciated.
