[QUOTE="BigSkyGP, post: 496551, member: 28118"] When you weld Aluminum, wich can be learned and done well, you lose temper. It has to be re tempered (not actually tempering, more like an aging process) the whole thing has to be quenched precisely to get close to the uniform strength of the aluminum, before you started welding. In some ways, you did well to go with steel, for welding this project. I think the rust issue would bother me a little, you did mention this concern yourself. As long as the rust never comes into contact with the rifle's metal, it should be fine. Maybe stainless? Then again wood has been holding our actions for half a millenia, so you're ahead of the trend for handling recoil, and steel is going to be plenty durable. What fiber will you be using, just glass? Carbon, and/or kevlar as well? [/QUOTE]
