I just added a new gun to my collection. A Springfield 1911A1 "Loaded". I cant seem to field strip my pistol. I got the slide off but i cant seem to do anything with my guide rod so i cant move my barrel bushing to extract my barrel and guide rod. Oh its a full length guide rod.

I would rather die a soldier than die a coward.

'What do you feel when you shoot a Terrorist?'
The Marine shrugged and replied,
'A slight recoil.'

This may sound nutty, but there are a couple of really good videos on YouTube that show the disassembly and reassembly of the 1911. A big help to a new owner (like me).
Here's a link to YouTube for Springfield disassembly:

A couple of them are well done. HTH.
Don't leave us hanging.We would like to know how it turned out.
