The first stainless guide rod I made for my Mustang was 303, a natural choice as it's a free machining stainless steel alloy, but it can't really be hardened. After shooting about a box through it I field stripped and saw battering marks on the large end. So we made 20 of 416 and had them heat treated to 50 Rc.
IIRC the plastic ones used a steel washer where those marks were showing.

HisSoldier, nice story. I am glad there are creative and talented folks like you that are making quality custom parts for our guns. Someday I may get one of your triggers for my Sig P238.
