Hi John, Viggo, Al & all! I did some netsurfing last night, as I am always dreaming of new & impossible luger tasks that I can get involved with. And I found quite a few interesting sites on titanium.. it would seem that some of the new titanium alloys can be heat treated and are impact resistant! To what degree, I don't know, because I have not the training to interpret the data?? I agree Zinc would be a terrible choice, and those guys were probably shot for being so stupid... but, I have seen quite a few lugers, and have never seen one with ramps that were unservicable... or hardly even worn for that matter... I have always been told that stainless is soft also, yet it seems to be holding up quite well in the newest Lugers?? (feedback??) interesting thread so far, What about the receiver... no impact there?? Til...lat'r...GT <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
