Has anyone complaining about the plastic guiderod bothered to do a quick internet search? Steve Bedair (Bedair machine works) makes stainless guiderods (and has for quite some time now) for a very reasonable price (45 bucks shipped), but you have to send your factory guiderod/spring assembly to him. He offers them in a couple different styles and makes them for all kinds of different guns- if the plastic one bothers you that much, contact Steve and get a stainless one. Easy. http://guiderod.com/special...
Does anyone know if the metal spring guide / recoil spring of the 92FS is interchangeable with the 96A1? I tried it and it fits, but do not want to attempt to fire the weapon without consulting others.
