[QUOTE="RetiredTater, post: 3806574, member: 32190"] So, after reading the responses, I revisited my pictures and could see the hex key on the guide rod. Sometimes, I just get so wrapped up in something and can't see the angles for the glare of a flashlight looking down into it. Used an appropriate sized allen wrench, and it came a part. I just was trying to avoid marring up the finish, and looking closer, could see where something had scratched up under the slide lock to slip it out. It was a booger even with guide rod out. Well, now I can trybto figure out what strength of spring is in it so I can determine if it will take full reloads or just light ones and go from there. Loads that were being used by my Dad are 750 FPS, and I have the recipe (for the most part), and I might just start reloading .45 for that. She is liable to become a safe queen like a couple of his rifles, but promised my boy he could go with me and shoot it after I got it all cleaned up and checked out. She is a dream. Shoots like one, feels like one. Thank ya'll for the assistance. I do appreciate it and a better range report will be forthcoming. [/QUOTE]
