Do you have to replace the GI model guide rod and spring with a full length to use this?

Nope I didn't have to replace squat, the tricky part was putting the cap into the compensator but after a few swear words and man handling it for a minute it slipped right in.

This compensator did not require anything to make it fit. Answer from William b outlines how to put it on.

No, but you have to put the cap into the slide and then put the compensater on, put sting and guide rod in and hold the entire assembly with one hand while you put it back on the frame.

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

This does not add to the barrel length. This goes into the receiver and guides your cleaning rod thru the reciever... I believe that all AR cleaning rods are the same length.

It's hard to say without measuring the extended length of your current lift rods. That said, you should be able to get some model numbers off of the old rods. If you put rods too long or short on, nothing bad will happen to it though. I used these for a truck cap, having gotten the numbers off the old rods.

No. The base has a rail piece to clamp just one rail to the back that connects the should pad. This 15mm rail piece is threaded, to screw on the shoulder pad. From my experience, this thread broke, literally snapped off and stuck inside my shoulder pad, and hour after using it. Since it's not an industry standard design, there is not replacement. It's a pretty horrible design and it failed on a fundamental level. I very much do not recommend it.

Yes, it's a complete unit. Would recommend getting the special tool from Hunter. Makes adjustments easier.

No, you need to order an extended spring seperately. The spring runs about $8 and can be ordered from GG&G; or Brownell's. All other parts are reused from the stock tube. It takes less than 5 minutes to add the extension tube.

Yes, just relocate the tension springs away from any ports you need to get to. I also removed the top bracket and replaced it with a tension spring. As a safety precaution I used a wire tie to secure the MU350R.

I understand that. But how do you adjust? Usually spring tension rods you just twist on each side to fit. What is the screw and coil for?

No. You don't have to change the factory spring, but there is a heavier spring that you can purchase that will make squeezing the trigger even smooher!

I threw one of these in my Kimber Custom 2. It has a full length guide rod and it cycles just fine.

No. Works fine with the standard buffer and spring. Simply swap out and you are ready to go

No - I bought the 72" version and I don't see how you would be able to shorten it. Each end has some hardware in it and it would be very difficult / impossible to cleanly remove it then cut the whole thing to be 66".

Yes..I put one of these and a steel recoil spring guide rod in mine and it made it very nice to shoot. Accuracy was improved greatly as well. Both of these upgrades are well worth the money spent. You wont be disappointed.

No. Full length guide rods won't work for a commander size 1911. Well, they will, but stick out a ways. You can find a two piece that will fit commanders I believe.

Basicly, yes. I can't remember if it was a torx or hex screw that came on the rod end but you can reuse your existing torx screw if desired.

Yes. Mine is a Full Size GI model and they fit perfectly. I'd also recommend buying their screws as well.
