Hummm,
I dont think Crosman will tell you EXACTLY what they use, wouldn't think the others would ( Bother to ) either.
You could take a good guess if your a metal type person and likely be close but .
As long as the metal passes testing it gets used.
"last forever" NOPE. Nothing lasts that long.
Most manufacturers don't ever recommend testing or inspection ( in the US ) of air vessels on our rifles. I've seen 20 year old tubes that look like they've never been used, and a 2 yr old tube with corrosion you could ruin a finger nail on.
Safety is always up to you.
Might I inquire what's on you mind exactly? Considering a build? Looking for a heirloom rifle? Other?

I think the p-rod is steel. Small cylinders are often steel. The weight savings between a small aluminum and a small steel is too little to justify the cost savings. I know on the Bulldog Crosman uses aluminum to save weight because if they did not, it would weight 12lbs instead of 8lbs.
