When putting in an aftermarket metal recoil rod and aftermarker barrel, there is the theoretical potential for the rod base to dig into the frame, due to the hard metal rod base being pushed into the plastic frame. Check this thread for an example:

This can be made worse by the fact that the Bar Sto (and possibly other barrel makers) have raised the half-moon on the underside of the barrel, which is in contact with base of the recoil rod base so that it creates a tighter lock-up (which is the intention of the design). This causes the rod base to push down into the frame and could potentially cause wear in a key location. If this wear occurs, it could interfere with the ability of the slide lock leaf spring to fully push up the slide lock.
Has anyone who has a metal recoil rod and or aftermarket barrel experienced anything like this?
