Quick question on Don's Guide Rod installation - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I got the rod and spring today...what is the usage and installation guide for the washers that came with it? I have a bronze washer, a black Delrin and a brown Delrin AF, no instructions. Thanks for the help.

do a search and you will find detailed instructions

but I beleave you can choose what washer you want to use, just one, not all.

Thanks, I am finishing my lower level on the house and do not have speakers hooked up, the video card is bad, I did manage to find the video in Pistol-Gear, however cannot hear it...so you just choose one washer from the front, outside of the rod in the front of the slide? Any recommendations as to which one and why they sent four washers?

hopefully someone else will help you here.
I just orderd my guide rod and spring, should be here in the next day or two, but I don't think there is a huge difference, get on dons forum and ask, he will reply quickly(probly tomarrow).
I think someone already asked this question and maybe you can find the difference if you look around..

You get four washers, three of them are spares in case you lose the first.

As for which one to use, the choice is yours. In the end, it depends on the look you are going for. Being that you will see the washer from the front of the gun, some like the look of brass, others like it all to be black (black is tactical and tactical rules all).

The person who notices mine is brass will be a little preoccupied to tell me it looks bad.
