LOL it just got harder to decide instead of easier!

So. Would you willing to etch ,stamp, scrape or engrave a nice sized "TM" on one of your mods by request ?

Yeah I have a real good engraver now. The best way imo, to do it is to have it engraved over cerakote so it's silver engravings over the color of the cerakote.

i highly recommend the extra $10 on the metal button. not that i have a standard one, but i love my alu button, i just don't think it would feel right without it

i'd have thought the main uptick for titanium would be its lightness

Titanium is light compared to most metals, but aluminum is even lighter.

Density in g/cm^3
Copper: ~8.8
Bronze: ~8.7
Brass: ~8.5
Steel: ~7.9
Titanium: ~4.5
Aluminum: ~2.7
Magnesium: ~1.8

How machinable is magnesium? ;-)

i think it came up once with reference to those early high school heating magnesium science tests [aka it kinda asplodes when heated much] i think

Oh, magnesium definitely burns vigorously if you get it hot enough. Small enough bits of it are pretty easy to ignite too, but a mod-sized big chunk of it isn't. Even steel will burn readily if it's fine enough -- like 0000 steel wool.

Could only find mag in an ingot, can't work w that. It's doable if it's in a flat bar.

If you find a 1in.x2in.xwhatever (6in. or 1ft. Prolly) and you want it lml I'll take a look at it, mod of the mag is from an ingot which is junk to cut on.
