This is my "Guide Rod Fun Thread". It was no fun let me tell you.... I'm sure the SD is a lot different.... BUT, here it is if anyone needs some guidance on the "strap method" on a 123.

I'm still looking for a spring compressor that works on the 123 without modification to the "upper spring perch hole". I need to replace the LCA bushings soon. Any help with the Right Tool would be appreciated. I'm not grinding away my spring perch.
