was there any paperwork with the barrel to tell you who made them if so I suggest that you contact the barrel manufacturer for his suggestions if not I would contact Buds customer service (859) 368-0371 available 9AM to 9PM EST Monday through Friday). We are not Buds employees wish I could be of more help
The hesitation to go all the way into battery is probably caused by the barrel link of some part of the barrel fit that's dragging just a bit. You can also try some different recoil spring weights to see if it corrects the issue. A smith may need to check function with the suppressor attached. There is a possibility the barrel may be out of tolerance so Buds or the Manufacturer may be able to help or replace it.
If you are having problems with this hitting the "guide rod" as you say I would suggest trying it with the original shorty guide rod and end cap setup which does not protrude when the action cycles and cannot hit the can.
