Hey Guys,

Looking to get some info on this guide lot. Some appear to be Carbaloy but others look a little more "silvery".

Hi Guys, I've never seen a Carboloy ring in a stamped frame. It's hard to tell about others. I use Carboloy guides, with only an occasional agate.

Hi Guys, Well, now I possibly have seen stamped frame Carboloy guides. The diamond hard appellation certainly implies harder than steel.
