Review
the guide rod arrived quickly and installed it with no problems and it works like a dream mcarbo is a very good company to deal with I'm proud to deal with other veterans I'm not as young as these guys did my time from 1981 to 1991 they are good people
Visually seems to be the exact length, width and shape of the original. Very smooth stainless steel finish. The original had galling seen through the black finish with 500 rounds. I am sure this will remain "as is" with a micro dot of oil after cleaning.
I haven't had a chance to fire the pistol since replacing the guide rod but I don't expect any issues since I can manipulate the slide with no issues. I'll never fire enough 380 rounds to test the strength and reliability.
About as easy as it gets to install. Great upgrade that won’t break the bank. My stainless steel guide rod brings all the ladies to the yard.
Installed seemed smooth
Works well. Not sure absolutley needed, but prefer the stainless steel rod even if only for the looks when I tear down the gun for cleaning.
My LCP MAX came with a metal recoil spring guide rod stock (not plastic), But still, this easily has $10 worth of Cool Factor to me. Great M*CARBO value part, again. Super easy install.
This is so much more than the factory part, the selection of material and maching are superb. Worth the price of admission.
Great replacement part - easy and simple to install just be careful with the two rod springs that come with the gun when removing the slide. part is stainless steel and works great. I do wish it had a captured spring however
Probably not really needed to replace the original steel rod, but I like stainless steel
You can tell the spring slides more easily along the stainless guide rod compared to factory but I don’t know if this makes any performance or reliability difference. Looks nice and high quality, easy installation.
I installed this at the same time as all other available springs and trigger, and together, they really brought the pistol up to another level. It's hard to say how much of a difference this makes by itself, but for $10, I see no reason not to. It takes less than a minute to install and has zero drawbacks.
Ordered guide rod and takedown pin. Also ordered gunsmithing tools. All tools and pistol parts are good quality. Shipping time was quick.
This Stainless Steel Guide Rod should last a very long time. It fits and works perfectly!!!
Super easy to install and feels a lot smoother on the slide ..parts arrived super fast and customer service was top notch. Also ordered the take down pin as well. Mcarbo has a customer for life !!!
