One more question..... What is the material on the guide that the rods attach. Aluminum, hard plastic?? Thanks

The kits comes with 3 different size rods to fit various models I would think. The rods are threaded into the metal "T" end of the guide, which is made from what I believe is likely hardened aluminum. There is no plastic on the unit other than the threaded knob used for micro adjusting.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

I think it's aluminum. The legs are sturdy. We've had one of the three supports break off from the center post, but I can still use the tripod.

It is metal. And it worked great for me. No issues. However, I think this one is too short to mount an optic to.

aluminum rails with a light metal connector. I have used various profile bars and found these to be good for the cost. One downside is the handlebars I have are sloped at the stem clamp site and found the bars did slide if not extremely tightened.

Yes, Dale, even the supporter rods on mine are made of stainless. It's really a great product!

Not sure but its some type of metal....the only issue i have with it is it doesnt stay tighten for long. Once you move so will everything attatched to it.

As the ad says, it is aluminum. The other metal used for anodes is magnesium but aluminum is cheaper. As I understand it, magnesium is better if you have hard water. Changing the rod is easy and it prolongs the life of the water heater.

The tension rods are metal and the snap connectors are plastic. The plastic connectors don't appear that they would break with normal installation.

My opinion is an anodized material. It is very strong and easy to handle. Hope this helps

It is aluminum, and the mounts it comes with are plastic and metal I'd assume to be aluminum also, had it for a while now no problems just tighten the mounts a little after every few drives after I first got it now it's set and doesn't need anything

The rod is the same plastic as the cover. There is a small blob of silicone lie stuff that seals the dispensing hole. There is no steel in this other then the spring in the dispensing top

It is plastic. But looks strong. I have picture. But I don't know how to attach here.

I think they are polymer and metal, maybe aluminum. I have a set of these and they are very good. Didn't see any reason to buy $250+ metal sights when I could get these for around $100 and they're spring loaded popup. Have an an AR I built myself and they're fine.

Unfortunately its made of plastic, the title is misleading. I got one hoping it would be aluminum but I was let down.
