Do I need to purchase long guide rod arms?

Hello all. I am going to purchase either the WE130 or the GEN 3 pro today. The guide rod arms they come with are 10" and 8". I see that they sell longer arms which I assume is used when you have the low angle adapter on. So if I plan to use the low angle adapter should i buy the 12" arms for the WE130 and the 10" for the Gen 3 pro? Thanks in advance and happy Thanksgiving all.

Welcome to the forum michael.

Yes definitely buy longer guide rods. I use mine all the time. I couldn’t sharpen without them.

thank you. just added to the cart.

I agree that the 12 inch rods are a good accessory. I use them exclusively.

I have the Gen 3 Pro and purchased the 10" guide rods as (to me) a necessity. Personally I think the 8" rods it comes with are too short. It should come standard with the 10" rods.

I have 10 inch for my Gen 2 and immediately purchased 12" for the Gen 3. IMO, they should be OEM for the base kit and shorter rods the option.
