O.K.....went to gun show Sat. bought Jerry K's two books and a milspec guide and plug for my commander to replace FLGR.
Observations that I could not find answers to in the books.
1. FLGR(solid ss) butt end solid rod protrudes from back of a flange a bit like on milspec guide but from a point about 3/4 down on the back protrusion the but is beveled towards the top almost flush with flange.
2. Milspec guide protrudes from back of flange also but is not taper ground....and it is a hollow tube as it should be.
Question is any reason why the butt end protrudes from the flange at all?
I installed the milspec plug and guide but have not fired the gun yet....just cycled it by hand and it "seemed" ok.
Any need to taper grind the butt end of the milspec guide to match the contour of the FLGR?
Am I missing something here or being too paranoid?
