I have tried for a month to get the 6k NI bottles locally. Everyone telling me there is a shortage on them. None selling new, one mentioned renting them. I just want to own them outright and they don't like that. Goal was 3 or more. I have 3 regular NI tanks and a bunch of other gasses I use in...

I set this up real quick to show my config last night. Forgot to post. This is 2 of the 3 I fill and I do fill them in a tub of water to keep the temps down. Also run the recirculating pump for the compressor in the same water. I left the filtration off for this pic. But I do use it. Didn't feel...

You will need either these, or some inline ones. These should duo the trick as it is what I use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FQ3W79Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or NPT https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FMWGP8D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Keeping

Anodizing is easy. Easiest metal to do. Heat with a torch to get colors you want. or electro anodize with a power supply or batteries. There is also a "painting" process you can do . I was going to experiment with this process to make a camo pattern or similar. You use a paintbrush or sponge...

 Wasn't attacking anyone. More letting others know that there ARE already applications in our PCP world that TI is already in production products with dissimilar metals. Appreciate the feedback. I am a science/ math guy so I do understand. 

You guys do realize people are making titanium Air vessels and using them with other dissimilar metals?

Yep. Again. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you guys. Just got in a nice piece of 20x14x1000 Cf tube to experiment with. 

You're not wrong. In the FX Impact though, the barrel is always separated from the rest of the aluminum parts by the o-rings that keep it centered and balanced in the front of the block and the back. Addressing the galling again not incorrect. Less so than the other hardware that was used...

The journey started hunting Iguana. The salty gulf air is harsh on any metals that oxidize. In this case. Any of the black oxide steel on the Impact. Including the scope rings, barrel, trigger group, screws, etc. anything exterior exposed to the elements. I cleaned religiously with an oiled...

FYI to the masses., M14x1 for the barrel sleeve side M12x1 for the transfer port side 1/2"x20 for the front of the sleeve / plug yeah.... I bought all of the taps and dies

@mtnGhost STX Barrel Sleeve. You mentioned threading it. Is it M14*1 ?
