The worst instruction manual I have read is supplied with the Springfield .45Super Longslide. Of all the options the manual describes (regarding the guide rod,) the rod in the Super is NONE. Fortunately, I have taken apart enough semiautos to have a sense of where it's supposed to go. Still darn near impossible to get that spring/guiderod assembled, even though I have replaced the Super spring with an ACP spring.
Yes, manuals are not well-written, either for software or for guns. But then, tech manuals are generally only an afterthought and usually are written by someone who is an outside contractor--they may or may not have ANY idea what the PRODUCT is and does, let alone how to write about it clearly.
