yes,
tried mould plastic over the guide and decided to go back to stock metal spring guide.. first issue is size, and then the flexibilty is not that great with the material used.. waiting to try better grade plastic and no coating this time, just a complete moulded model..

Oh, why complicate so much. Get a one inch dia delrin rod and have a duplicate made of the metal spring guide.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

wind good old electric tape around the stock guide and be done with it.....with IHP 'out of round tubes'/off centered piston stems, the delrin/PVC/nylon/nylatron/plastic/hdpe/UHMWPE guides will BREAK....
