are the rods metal or plastic? hard to tell from the picture. If metal, has anyone experienced damage to barrel? esp non chromed barrel?

metal, not aware of any damage. would think it would depend on the technique

Rods are aluminum and to soft to harm hardened steal barrels. Same idea behind the brass brush it's softer then the hardened steal.

The rods are metal. My advise and cleaning best practice is to always clean from the breech and not from the front of the barrel. Keep the rods centered when cleaning or buy/make a rod centering device and you should not have any problems. The rods in the kit are the same that I have in my larger cleaning kit and I have never had any problems.

That's a big nope. Metal barrel is about as much as you get, but plastic everything else. Not very sturdy for a game, but I also wouldn't take a spring-action revolver to one anyways. That said, it's still a fun little piece to shoot cans in the backyard with.

Metal. Also be prepared to file the bottom of the screw part so it does not stick through to the barrel. Also I'd highly recommend loctite.

No. The rod is made of a light metal pipe that is pretty light, but chrome plated. The ends are also of a light metallic alloy of some sort and chrome plated.

I used mine for a display at Salt Lake Community College. The body and barrel were metal, but the flash suppressor was plastic. I took out the functioning parts, used superglue to secure the parts that could be stolen, and had a wonderful replacement for the rubber gun shape that was there. The airsoft gun was metal in the right places, plastic in the right places, and looked real enough to scare the security officer at the school.

It is rifled steel. It is a good barrel. Make sure to tighten barrel if loose.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. The stock is some kind of "plastic" material but the barrel and mechanisms are metal. Works fine for my need which has been chasing off noisy crows.

Everything is chrome plated plastic except the bar, which is chromed brass. Not to be used as a grab bar, but is sturdy enough to hold up your shower head.

Appear to be high grade aluminum. I have 12 sets of these one set on each rifle and two of the rifles are 300 winmags. Have not had any problem with them. The two main features that I look for are: 1.) four screw lock down on the scope and 2.) lock down on the rings to the rail being nuts not screws. I have installed these as said on 12 of my rifles ranging from 17HMR to 300 Winmags. Hope this answers your question.

Metal. I prefer the silver (zinc plated) Daisy BBs, they don't leave residue in the barrel like the coppery Crossman ones can.

I believe they're solid brass, little or no coating. I'd have to check though, and they're currently in storage with a lot of my othwr gun stuff. Sorry I couldn't be a bit more helpful.

The barrel is definitely not made of wood - it is made of some form of plastic. The wood grain finish only looks like it is made from wood.

The outside is plastic, but the mechanism inside is metal. There is some weight to the gun. Should last a long time. It looks so real my concern was that the orange tip would come off, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Hello:It appears to be some sort of cheap die-cast material. Very lacking in quality. I would say, spend some more money on Ritchey or Profile bars or buy some used! I used these once and they were ok, but the metal stripped out and I had to fix it with a nut and bolt. You really need to think of the safety issue too and my gut feeling tells me that these are not a bargain at any price!!! You get what you pay for.

it is plastic that has been chromed. So far it has held up for me. I have found when tightening the plastic nut on the inside you need to use a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench.

The muzzle brake is metal. Mine is painted black. By the way, I am very pleased with the rifle.

It is metal. The description says "all brass and steel". The clip sticks to a magnet so I guess that is steel. The barrel doesn't so I guess that is brass.
