a phone callor email to kahr, attn: Jay willget the rght answer. Kahrs shws two different part numbers. Myself I think they are interchangeable.. error on the side of caution, ASK KAHR.

[Alfonse]

They show different part numbers by pistol model for everything. I think they are the same also. I figured somebody who has both would know.

Well I have both but I'll have to check it out when I get home, probably be later in the evening. I'm blessed with a visit from my granddaughter on Wed and Thurs afternoons.
Very few people outrank you Alfonse my friend but she does.

Granddaughters outrank most everybody. I'm in no hurry and sure appreciate you taking a look.

Enjoy that granddaughter!

Ok, side by side they look exactly the same to me. Same length and diameter.
I have the Steve Bedair stainless rod in my K40 but other than a little more skookum flange end it's the same.

I got pictures I can download after a bit if you wish. Back to the granddaughter for a bit now.

[Alfonse]

That's all I was wondering, no photos needed. Thank you so much!

skookum flange????? :confused:

[Alfonse]

Bedair had a nice finish on the guide rod ends so they looked cooler! Skookum means sturdy though, so maybe the flange end was a bit thicker.

Principal meaning[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skookum&action=edit&section=1)]It has a range of positive meanings. The word can mean 'good,' 'strong,'[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookum#cite_note-2) 'best,' 'powerful,' 'ultimate,' or 'brave.' Something can be skookum meaning 'really good' or 'right on! 'excellent!', or it can be skookum meaning 'tough' or 'durable.' A skookum burger is either a big[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookum#cite_note-3) or a really tasty hamburger, or both. Homecooked food described as skookum, is delicious and hearty. A person described as skookum, has a purpose and is on solid ground, and in good health and spirits. When used in reference to another person, e.g. "he's skookum," it conveys connotations of trustworthiness, reliability and honesty as well as (possibly but not necessarily) strength and size.
Being called skookum may also mean that someone can be counted on as reliable and hard-working, or is big and strong. Skookum house means jail or prison, cf. the English euphemism "the big house" but here meaning "strong house." Skookum tumtum, lit. "strong heart," is generally translated as "brave" or possibly "good-hearted." In the Chinook language, skookum is a verb auxiliary, used similar to "can" or "to be able." Another compound, though fallen out of use in modern British Columbia English, is skookum lacasset,' or strongbox.
A related word skookumchuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookumchuck) means turbulent water or rapids in a stream or river, i.e. "strong water" ("chuck" is Chinook Jargon for "water" or "stream" or "lake"). There are three placenames in British Columbia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia) using this word, and one in Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_(U.S._state)). Of the British Columbia skookumchucks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookumchuck) one is a famous saltwater tidal flow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_flow) narrows at the mouth of Sechelt Inlet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sechelt_Inlet), the others at rapids on the Lillooet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillooet_River) and Columbia Rivers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River), and also Skookumchuck Rapids Provincial Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookumchuck_Rapids_Provincial_Park) on the Shuswap River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuswap_River), just downstream from Mabel Lake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_Lake) in the Monashees region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monashee_Mountains). The Skookumchuck River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookumchuck_River) in Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_(U.S._state)) is a robust tributary of the Chehalis River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chehalis_River). While the tidal flow rapids at the mouth of Sechelt Inlet is the Skookumchuck on the BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia) coast, the term is used in a general sense for other patches of rough water, typically tidal-exchange rapids at the mouths of other inlets or bays, which are a regular feature of the Inside Passage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Passage).

And yall thought I was illiterate? The flange is considerable thicker on the breech end.

As I recall he had some checkered on the muzzle end, you could use as a tenderizer, looked cool.

I just got a smooth one myself. Haven't heard from him in a long spell, he used to hang out here from time to time.

Hope he's doing ok.
