The Rarest of ALL Mags ( I don't even have one)

wouldnt there be different conductivities of the metals?
probably would be easier to weigh but whatever

One way to tell is to spark it against a grinding wheel. Ti gives off distinctive white sparks, SS will look orangish.

Ok let the valve destruction begin...

I rubbed my spork against a few glass things and it left no mark, for whatever its worth

I have a "smart mag" valve that is slightly lighter than my other valves. It was made to be light though, wasn't it? If not, is it possible that the Ti was made into some "smart valves" ?

My smart mag valve has similar coloration. I have a fealing it has nothing to do with Ti but who knows.

I'm guessing the $1000 reward doesn't apply for a Ti valve with grinding or tooling marks on it huh ?

Titanium and 403 Stainless have different electrical resistivities, so you should be able to distinguish between them with an ohmmeter.

Imagine the dilema of deciding which thread is worthy of that first post

I don't believe it was posted and i'm sick of math. has anyone figured out how much a TI valve should way (please mention whether it's fully assembled, partially assembled, etc.)

This is hilarious! I can just picture everyone running to check out their old valve that has been laying around forever. Very comical.

Well..........my valve is CF49520. I am not willing to spark it. How would I know if it was one of the valves?

[aqua_scummm]

find another one, compare the color VERY carefully, and weigh the two
