Q:

40mm titanium tube conversion.

Few pics of a 40mm x 3mm walls titanium tube i just did for a Rapid.

The odd colour on the ends is the anodising. This has to be done to stop the threads grabbing/gauling up when screwd 2gether (again).
Tube has a gound OD. But polished is available and will try some fade anodising for jollys later.
The plugs are Ti’ also with a Theoben bottle valve screwd in. I’ll make a delrin screw on cap when it gets back from having the carbon shroud fitted.
Gunna get some Ti’ to make a few HW100 conversions. Them tubes are all stainless n weigh a ton. Should make a good gun better.

ooh purdy! how much weight savings are you gaining with those?

That’s nice. I’m always amazed at some of this milling work. Nice work here.

Outstanding job, looks great!
