Default L10-Machine Titanium Carry Gun

Thought I would post some progress pictures of a project I'm building for myself.

Frame is machined in house from heat treated Grade 5 Ti, as is the custom designed magwell.

Grip and mainspring housing are 7 series aluminum.

This setup is incredibly light!

Shown next to a full size 5" gun also in progress, featuring an oversized tungsten sleeved barrel for felt recoil dampening.

Would you sell that as an 80% even though I know titanium is a pain to cut

So you're using titanium for lightness and tungsten for heaviness? I'm confused.

I don’t think you read the description well. His picture showed the Ti Frame next to a full size race gun with a Tungsten sleeved barrel.

two different guns.

One is lightweight.
The other is heavyweight.

The lightweight material is used to make the lightweight gun.
Get this, the heavyweight material is being used to make the heavyweight gun...
