[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1173719, member: 30592"] Titanium will weigh about 55% of what steel weighs. So if the receivers are the same size and configuration, weigh a steel one and multiply that by .55 to see what a titanium version would weigh. Steel, of the same physical size, is stronger than titanium. A piece of steel the same weight as titanium will not be as strong as titanium. Titanium is virtually corrosion proof but you still need to coat it in this application because it will gall easily. A couple of years ago I thought I had to have a Titanium action for a lightweight rifle. After some extensive research, I decided I didn't want one. [/QUOTE]
