Picked up this Craftsman Sig P320 guide rod. Great quality and very inexpensive.

Well, from the part number I'd say it started life as a Craftsman 1/4" drive extension.

Hehe .  I don’t have any expensive special tools. I used a drill (to keep cuts and filing concentric), Dremel with cutting wheel, a file and sand paper. Didn’t really need the file.  It took about an hour and only cost $7.  Better than $30 and waiting for weeks. 
 

I guess the Dremel is a special tool. It works great for stuff like this.  
 

Just wanted to share the idea.

Smart move.  And looks like nice work.  Should be plenty strong as it's a solid pice forged steel.
