Y E S! The eagle has landed!
It's true, you guys, I've been working on Papa for a while now... but it was inevitable, I believe, and better sooner rather than later.
FWIW my 7068 doesn't darken any faster than the 6061.
My new maintenance regiment has consisted of a few swipes on the scotch-brite each week (I've been a little hard on my mods of late, and have dinged & scratched them up more than usual :oops:) But it takes about 30 seconds to get it looking new again.
Also, that nipple looks really nice...:lol:

Awesome picher, Papa! :thumbs:

I'm really happy she finally made it to you. :) I'm even happier that you like it so much! :D

Secondly, I carry a 6061 and a 7075, everyday, everywhere I go. The 7075 ends up with the dark spots on it, after a few weeks, where the 6061 has never had a dark spot, in a year of carrying it. I assume it's because the 6061 has a very low zinc content, while the 7075 and 7068 have a much higher amount of zinc. .... :rolleyes:
I've noticed the dark areas too, and wondering how to clean it up.
Now that you've brought it up, ...any suggestions ?? ... I'm thinking the scotch-brite, and a coat of wax
Never thought the Aluminum would act like the Copper and Brass
But if the same goes for all, I've got what I need.:thumbs:

I sometime polish mine with some Mother's mag... go easy if you want to keep the brushed finish, but I find it shines it up real nice and makes it feel so smooth! Seems like it takes longer to darken (for me). But it's a little messier and takes a bit longer than the scotch-brite.

Well since Beck wants 27 of 'em and a few others are in as well, you should have no problem selling fifty mods. :D
I don't think I'll be helping any in bringing any prices down, unfortunately.

I have very specific needs.

I'd be in for a 6061! Absolutely. I will own a BrassC at some point, but as #2 a second aluminum would probably see more use. And $350 would be an absolute steal!

I can vouch for the 6061 being plenty bulletproof. Mines taken many a spill onto the floor and only has minor scratching. I have mostly wood floors and some carpet however... :pervy:

It took quite a while to darken up initially. Then my girlfriend (lovely) decided to wash it (bless her heart) since she thought the dark spots were grease, with a Dawn filled scotch brite dish wand (run away CC, run away!).

I cleaned it up with a 3k grit sanding pad since, but now it darkens up really fast :(
