I field stripped my Radom today for the first time, cleaned it, oiled it, and reassembled it.
Everything went fine ... or so I thought.
I cycled it a few times and everything functioned fine.
Then I locked back the slide and pulled the guide rod as I would for the dis-assembly, and it slid right out.
When first dis-assembling the pistol, I noticed the guide rod spring was captured, like on my Glock. I simply oiled it and didn't really mess with it.
I did notice the hole through the side but didn't think too much of it.
Am I missing a part?
Is there supposed to be a pin or something in that hole?
I can pull the slide back but only to the point of where the take-down latch is.
Do any of you guys know how I can dis-assemble the pistol without the guide rod? Or do I need to take this to a gunsmith?
