Imeo do you know

[LongHaul]

How many of the aluminum GGTS's you made?

 

[imeothanasis]

aluminium or aluminium nickel plated Long?

 

[LongHaul]

Aluminum only not the nickel.....although one of those are next on my list to look for....

 

[imeothanasis]

2 batches from 150 each if I remember well Long, so 300 in total

 

[LongHaul]

Awesome thanks

 

[imeothanasis]

no problem Long

Imeo does this include the GGTS with the brass telescope tube and end caps or just the all aluminum?

 

[imeothanasis]

Only the all aluminium wood. All the other brass parts were sold separately and in unknown quantities

Well, I don't know bout aluminum telescopes as I've never seen one, but if you use the wiki serial list as a reference the aluminum GGTS's go up into the #800's before the nickel ones appear. Both my rev 2's are alumunium with brass tele's, buttons and draw caps only. Bottom caps are aluminum.

I know the top cap (atty end) and the bottom caps where made of aluminum and I'm almost positive that there were a few aluminum telescope tubes made in 2010. Not sure on how many but I don't think that they were all brass.

My aluminum rev.2 came brand new with brass telescope

LH, the nickle was the most beautiful of all ggts. The finish flawless and shiniest too. Some peoples skin turned the finish so Imeo quit making them. They hit harder too then SS

 

[wood_510]

dspin- all of the alum models should have hit harder than the SS because the aluminum conducted electricity better.

 

[LongHaul]

And nickel does better than alum

 

[LongHaul]

Gotta find me a nickel one eventually

Sorry my friend - the all aluminum hit the hardest of all. Then the Nickle, then the SS. The upcoming brass tubes should be awesome though and jump all over the SS

I second dspin on that. My Aluminum hits like a freight train, then the Nickel.

Here's how mine came, well not exactly - I polished it a few times for pic.

Man that looks amazing i wish i was the owner of mine from new but it was a work horse so only has very faint engravings and it does not polish up like that anymore nice work Dspin
