I considered that, and you may be right David , but I REALLY hope it isnt magnesium.
If it is, that will completely ruin my plan to have a new section welded onto the bottom.
I'm sure Rob Nixon will be able to tell us what these parts are composed of. I'll email him soon. I do know the assembly was made in Canada, as it carries their Defence Dept. markings on two parts. They were very thorough with applying part numbers to everything sufficiently big enough to take a stamp.
