Jack Maple is a legend; if he built your gun, then you have a good one without a doubt.
He was a wizard with Hi-Standard 22's as well.
He was a pretty good friend of the guy who got me going on competitive shooting & he got us a few parts from time to time; unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet him.

You would have been ok but then you said this
"by one of the gun specific vocabulary correction specialists. Wow"
I'm not the one confused. I believe you are. "I stand corrected" is not changed even a little bit by the following description of who corrected me. You may not like that it followed my admission of being wrong, but it didn't change the fact, at all, that I admitted I was wrong and stood corrected. No need to get snarky because you got corrected. Your snarky comment indicated the rest was sarcasm, so TWR had a good point.

OK. 3/4 of your observation was not necessary either (the part in red). MontanaMan is right. You and Magnumdood are confusing a barrel bushing with a spring plug. The barrel bushing has nothing to do with whether you use a short or full length guide rod.
If you're going to try to argue about this stuff, at least use the right names so people know what you're trying to say. If I'm wrong I have no problem admitting it, however, if you, or anyone else decides to lecture me also, I'll respond in a snarky manner. This part was sufficient - MontanaMan is right. You and Magnumdood are confusing a barrel bushing with a spring plug.Save the lectures for Sunday School.

Now, go ahead and respond. I'm done and you can have the last word/post.

MM Nice to have a gun that allows you to know you did or didn't point it right. Was told by the shooters at AMU that the gunner can outshoot the rest.. Tested with ball, I'll bet it does much better with real match ammo.

That's a classic, beautiful, hardball gun!!
Yes, it will almost surely do better with softball match ammo, probably closer to 1 1/2" or so..........................but, unfortunately, REALLY good 45 match ammo is hard to come by these days. (The target says it was with FC Match hardball, though)
Best softball gun, that I ever had (I built), with a heavy rib, would do 1 5/8" with 10 shots with the old Winchester Super Match.
Never had a hardball gun get under much 2".

MM It shoots way better than I do so I'm happy with it. Wouldn't want to get a "pink" leg medal.., plus Sams was about 2 years behind on his M-9's so I went this route. Was activated less than a year later, and lost interest, so it sits in the safe mostly. I drag it out on occasion to shoot steel plates and it does knock them down with more authority than a 9mm.
