urbandork Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ive decided to build up a sprinfeild 1911. I really like the look of a 1911 with a guiderod that sticks out of the slide with the the barrel when locked back as opposed to that of a 1911 that doesnt have a rod sticking out. Would a sprinfeild 1911 from sprinfeild armory be able to come with this type of guide rod? I had planed on using a w/a fbi trials as a base and a pcg springfeild metal slide/frame. However while looking at a w/a fbi trials i was intrested in i noticed that when locked back it didnt have a full legth recoil rod and instead had that of a 1911a1 type thing. Realistically would it be stupid to put a full length recoil rod on a a springfeild setup? If not i kinda want that full length recoil rod. What are my other options for a w/a 1911 with a full length guide rod and a metal kit springfeild kit? Is it possible to conver the guide rod set up using the pcg kit and the fbi trails? Thanks to all. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I believe it is possible, but since you're already getting a new slide and frame with the correct trademarks, why not buy a gun that already has that feature? Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted May 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 what gun would that be? Any pointers? it would have to have a sprinfeild converstion kit. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Honestly, I'd PM Marcus. He knows everything you'll ever ask about M1911s. Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I can't think of any WA single stackers with the full length guide rod AND bushing, off hand. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
dirty mao Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 dude, if you're gonna just buy a pistol and put a metal frame and slide on it, don't get the FBI trial or whatever. find the cheapest one you can that will fit the new kit. you'll save some money in doing that.

hhsohn Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I can't think of any WA single stackers with the full length guide rod AND bushing, off hand. Cheers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perhaps the SW1911? Link to post Share on other sites

Wingman Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Some of the Wilson WA's may also have it. Many of their real steels do. The Springfield Armory 1911 is an excellent variation of this pistol. Very well made and surpases the Colt version in several ways (although they are making strides to correct this). Make sure you post some pictures when your done. **By the way, Springfield Armory has a really great web site that shows all their different pistols (1911's and the new XD1's) as well as their rifles and custom parts. You should check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
ZenMastaT Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Just to confirm, the SW1911 SCW2 does ship with an FLGR and so should meet your requirments admirably. I was going to do a very similar thing except I refuse to buy metal frames, and so a Springfield slide on a S&W frame seemed wrong to me. Link to post Share on other sites

Whats the other terms with the bushling and all that. thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
ZenMastaT Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 FLGR is indeed Full Length Guide Rod. The other possibilities are bushingless or bushing, one of which is the one you want though for the life of me I can't remember which is which at the moment. Of course you wouldn't have to worry about that if you just bought the SW1911 off the bat. Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 so the sw either has a bushling or bushlingless set up right. and a FLGR is more like that of a 2011 svi. or tm hicapa. Link to post Share on other sites
ZenMastaT Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 An FLGR is an FLGR as far as I know. It looks like this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15939949/ Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 what about the ones on 2011 models like Hicapa and w/a SVI's Link to post Share on other sites
ZenMastaT Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 What about them? I can't really understand your question. And as an aside, why do you put the backslash through the middle of WA? (w/a as you seem to write) Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 http://www2t.biglobe.ne.jp/~ohige/tsuhan/w...w1911_sl_gb.htm pictures there clearly show the full length guide rod with bushing. cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 i mean to ask what do u call a guide rod thats on a SVI or sti Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 It's the same, it's just the bushing or lack of it that's different. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
