It is available separately. I can't guarantee it will fit with whatever you're putting it in.

I could've sworn I had one left in stock somewhere here, but I can't for the life of me find it right now. I can order more in as required.


Part of the reason why that particular one looks so good, is first, because of the hex hole on the face. The second reason is because it was made flush with the end of the rod bushing. Normally, it is recessed and flush with the muzzle of the slide.

The reason why it should be recessed, is so that the barrel bushing can be rotated out of the way when the rod bushing is depressed. The way it is now, with the end flush with the rod bushing, means that even if you depress the rod bushing, the barrel bushing will still get caught by the extended recoil rod.

You won't be able to disassemble the barrel bushing like real steel. The process starts like a standard Hi-Capa. You have to remember to remove the barrel bushing before you can slide the barrel out. This is after you've removed the recoil rod and recoil spring as well as the rod bushing.

PM me if you want to order the rod.
