[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2521100, member: 9374"] Ok, my Springfield 1911 V-10 Champion has no guide rod. No barrel bushing, either, it's a bull barrel. So the spring is under tension and has to be manually held in place while putting the slide back on. I have been manually holding the spring in place just in front of the barrel bushing (which is vertical, not horizontal like when you're pulling the barrel). I can slide the frame onto the slide and get it back to about resting position, where it simply stops. Up against something hard, metal, not bound up. I've tried this with hammer cocked, hammer down, depressing and releasing grip safety, etc. Cannot move the slide further back to allow the takedown pin to be reinserted. I've also inserted a brass cleaning rod into the hole for the spring cap, down the length, holding the spring in place that way, but has no effect. WTH is the problem, here??? I did this before, a long, long time ago, but for the life of me can't remember how I got it to work? [/QUOTE]
