[captian pinky]

Stainless Steel huh ?

[captian pinky]

just double checking

[knownothingmags]

i think they aluminum

i thought i saw someone have there anoed.

Aluminum- it's not magnetic.

[captian pinky]

dang it i was hoping it was steel

[Flatliner333]

Aluminum- it's not magnetic.

The ONLY stainless steel that IS magnetic is 400 series. Most commonly used S/S is non ferris or non magnetic.
I still say it is stainless.

It's SS guys. "Someone" is in the process of changing that though.

The back is aluminum, the velocity adjuster is steel

Will report back to highschool and *****slap my science teacher. Thank you for this correction.

[BiNumber3]

A lot of steel is magnetic, and not all steel is stainless steel, so yer teacher may still be right

XMT is making titanium parts i do think

[promethion]

I love the idea of titanium not the price.

[BiNumber3]

Titanium has properties that make it harder to work with than steel and costs more, so the price is pretty justified. That and custom always costs moer

[RT Lover]

well top of the line always cost
