Glock 21 guide rod issue

Post by Bill » Thu May 15, 2014 8:32 pm

So I picked up a Glock 21 today and didn't notice it until I got home, but the aftermarket guide rod is not staying seated against the barrel. As soon as you rack the slide it drops down slightly. It's a springco stainless steel guide rod. Any one else had similar issues. Thanks in advance.

It ends up on the notch above where it's supposed to be seated.

I've had probably 15 different Glocks over the years and have never noticed it. Thanks for the input.
