[QUOTE="J Schulze, post: 28835, member: 723"] titanium is not the wonder metal people think it is. it is a bitch to machine and it is very cost prohibitive to use except when abosolutly needed. a 1.25 inch by 36 inch long peice of Ti is 356 dollars. add in special tooling and a barrel would cost in the neighbor hood of 850 dollars. besides I dont think it would work very vell. looking at the specs Ti would burst with a 44 mag charge. not good for rifle running 6K PSI Most of the Ti used in like golf clubs is cast, it is cheaper that way.
