The majority of it is made of metal with the exception of the on/off button as well as the sleeves that slide in the cylinders. On the surface this seems like a very cheap laser bore sight and it is. But unless you need to use it daily or weekly to sight something in, it works great. The sleeves that go in the barrel have a metal screw that goes into the main stem. Tighten the screw up snug with the supplied screwdriver and then turn the plastic sleeve down on the tapered stem until it fits snug in the barrel without being to tight. When I checked this against an already installed laser sight it showed the installed laser sight to be off by about 1/8". Prior to changing it, I checked it against my S&W .357 iron sights which have been set "dead on" for years and it showed right on center. I adjusted the installed laser sight to match the bore laser and my wife is shooting much more accurate now than before. Apparently she knew it was off, and rather than adjust it, she was just compensating for it. I have used this on four guns total. Two-22LR, one Walther PK380 and my S&W.357. There are several different sized adjustable tips to fit the different calibers.

The bore sight is metal...the adapters that fit in barrel are plastic...this does make the bore sight go off target with each shot...making it very inconsistent...was not happy with this set-up.

I don't remember if it is made of plastic. I bought for rehab a house by a contractor. It looks great and functions well for the price. Even at Home Depot and Lowes, most similar products are made of plastic and prices are higher. I am happy with my purchase.

it's made of metal. it isnt made of unbreakable iron or anything, but it's definitely a nice step up from plastic.

it is metal....comes with a removable plastic guard that snaps into place. I've had one for years and never used the guard though.

It's made of both metal and plastic. I can't say if it's of the same quality as the original because this is the oldest one I've gotten my hands on but it really is a great quality. Sturdy. I got it for my nephew and he wanted to play with it so I let him take it out and he's played with it a hundred times, transforming it back and forth, and it is still fully functional and nothing has broken on it or anything.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

It's got both metal and plastic parts. It is so well made, and I would recommend this to anyone! My grandson just loves it. He's 2, and I can see him playing with this for years to come. Best toy I've ever bought.

The item is metal. My daughter had one and I loved it so I had to order one for myself. It folds up so you are able to take it with you when you travel and it opens us in seconds. I travel a lot to visit with family so this has been great. I LOVE IT, it has been well worth the money.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

Metal. However, the one I purchased broke in about a month. The one I gave as a gift lasted longer

Metal & plastic. I still have it after a year or so. It seems to make that room a couple of degrees warmer and that seems to do the job.

It looks like metal, but seems to be plastic. You can't tell by looking at it. We like it.

It is metal. Easy to install and works like a dream. The holder is plastic and I replaced that with something I bought locally. But it was an easy swap.

it is made of plastic. i don't know if is a good plastic but i don't reccomend this one. i returned it. too much little things attached and it looked difficult to use and parts would be lost very soon.
