Make your takedown easier

This product is quality, and will make the takedown of your 1911 much easier. It is harder to get the old part out than it is to install this part.

2 PC guide rod

I have Ed Brown guide Ross in all my pistols. Ed Brown products are superior to other items. Their dedication to perfection is unequaled. Absolutely a great product. I use as many Ed Brown products as possible

so far the best I have ever used.

great product. I use these very often in upgrading and customizing customers' guns. I could write a huge post but I will just say this; I have yet to find a better guide rod than this one. I have tried most all others and found them lacking.
