Eliminator Buck Mark Recoil Guide Rod by Striplin Custom Gunworks

I decided to get this after losing several 'C' rings on the Browing recoil rod. This item made complete disassembly a breeze - I highly recommend it. As stated, I had to do some fitting with 400-grit sandpaper. Sand and test, repeat until it fits.

No need to worry about losing the tiny C clip any more. Very well finished/polished for smooth action. Had to file about 1/32" off end to make it fit.

This guide rod eliminates the c clip, right there it is worth it but it gets better. It runs really smooth and makes take down super simple. It took just a little fitting with a file to get the length right but only took a couple of minutes. Awesome part!

Significantly better than the stock item. It is a really good idea not to have to mess with the c clip (albeit you need to get used to using a paper clip to hold the spring with the rod while installing and removing) and stainless steel always makes things slide better.

After losing the microscopic c-clip on my factory recoil spring rod, I discovered this gem. not only is the piece itself of higher quality, its machined stainless steel, but it makes disassembly so easy, just pop a paperclip in the hole, and everything is retained and comes right out. They come long, and you will need to hit the end of the rod with a file so that it clears the barrel, but not a big deal.

Very pleased with the "recoil rod". No more worries about very small retaining ring. Easy to install.

A little file work and it works great

This is something Browning should have incorporated to begin with. Didn't take a minute to file to length and bevel the edges. Just unexpected, but enhances the customization in my opinion.

The Buck Mark guide rod was built to save money and mine wasn't really fitted properly. Got this, both problems solved. If you've never fit a part before, it's simple. Start with a small flat, fine file. Don't improvise, use the right tool. File in one direction only, don't scrub with it. File slowly. File straight - perpendicular to the guide rod. Use reading glasses if you want, don't be proud, you want a flat surface. File once, test and see if it's enough. Repeat until you can just see daylight between the guide rod and the bolt face. End result is a slide that travels a lot easier and smoother than before you started. Take pride in your work, you just improved your Buck Mark to no end.
